Line 4: == Types of card scrapers == [[Image:Scrapers.jpg\|thumb\|Various scrapers, with burnisher]] Card scrapers are available in a range of shapes and sizes, the most common being a rectangular shape ofapproximately ~~around~~3"x ~~postcard size~~6". Another common configuration is the ''gooseneck'' scraper, which has a shape resembling a [[french curve]] and is useful for scraping curved surfaces. For scraping convex shapes such as [[violin]] [[fingerboard]]s, small flexible rectangular scrapers are useful. Scrapers are normally made from high carbon steel. There are many manufacturers who provide scrapers in a wide variety of styles. Many woodworkers prefer to make their own card scrapers by cutting them from old [[hand saw]] blades.
