I have seen this Lee Valley scraper burnisher as well as some homemade tools for this purpose.

I would like to know if any of you take the time to burnish your turning scrapers.

I suspect you need to hone the top of the scraper and then burnish a hook. Burnishing one fresh off the grinder without honing the top may produce a hook that is so rolled over it is less effective.

Interested in your experiences.
