I just got a #80 cabinet scraper... I'll use it as the final finish before applying a finish coat. Even though this Black walnut piece has tight closed grain,, there are areas where even after using 600 grit mesh some of the grain fuzzes up...I should be able to shave the fuzz with this scraper.. The areas where the grain stays raised is the transition between the dark and light wood..
The scrapers path to me is pretty convoluted... Since you cant buy a tool like this at any retail store around here.... forget Home Depot.. So I ordered from Amazon....
I didn't notice that this tool was coming from Australia.. with Prime shipping it arrived quickly.. When I unboxed it I noticed the tool was made in England... So I bought a tool That originated in England from a place in Australia...I'm in New York
