This is one of the tools I picked up on my trip to Glaser. While it's a great bedan I also got it to use as a negative rake scraper. As with all my Glaser tools, the handle and the lead shot filler really make it a pleasure to use. I've only got a few minutes on it so far but so far so good. It cuts so smooth and the slight angle down the shaft seems to add to it's refined feel. Anyway, please enjoy. I'll review it more once I have more time on it.

I wanted to add that I used one of my Mini Glaser's as a negative rake scraper with great results. Then I read the post here about Bedan's and that kind of pushed me in the Bedan direction direction. Then I went to www.negativerakescrapers.com (http://www.negativerakescrapers.com) and it pushed me over the edge. I added it to my purchase along with a beading tool and a 1" spindle gouge. I'll post those later once I've put them to use.

Congratulations on the Glaser bedan, Bill. I know you'll enjoy using it. I'm still learning how to use a bowl gouge;)... but you, with your skills will shine with this tool.
