It neither draws the wood in like Conventional Scraping does, nor pushes it away as would a gouge. This makes it an exceptional technique for working very thin walled pieces or broken surfaces, like square bowls or natural edge. Negative Rake Scraping works best on medium density temperate woods and the densest exotic woods. It is also the very best tool on acrylics, plastics and acrylic impregnated woods because it will not grab at them. It can produce an unmatched finish on end grain or around the mixed grain surface of a side grain bowl. A Negative Rake Scraper can be used on either side; therefore when cutting at the very center of a box or bowl use caution not to cut past center. Negative Rake Scraping is never aggressive. It is slower at shaping than conventional scrapers, but it’s a far more effective finishing technique because it removes the risk of grabbing at the wood. Negative Rake Scraping can easily smooth out long cuts by removing unwanted tool marks from gouges or torn grain from carbide scrapers. Negative Rake Scraping, when done correctly, will improve your shapes and dramatically reduce your sanding time. Don’t forget: the edge of the blade must have a burr present to be effective.
