While I was making the hickory bowl I posted pics of my Son-in-law came by and gave me a scraper. He made one for himself and one for me from some steel scrap from his work site.
I have no idea what type of steel this thing is - but it is the hardest stuff I have ever come across. I holds an edge better than any high priced lathe tool I have ever bought. 22" Long
It ain't pretty --- but it sure works - and is on the "sturdy" side to say the least.
He grinded it as a square scraper with a small radius on one side which really works great. I think if I can find something that I can grind it with I will make a half-round scraper from it.
