Card scraper

Card scraper in use

A card scraper or cabinet scraper is a woodworking shaping and finishing tool. It is used to manually remove small amounts of material and excels in tricky grain areas where hand planes would cause tear out. Card scrapers are most suitable for working with hardwoods, and can be used instead of sandpaper. Scraping can produce a cleaner surface than sanding. It less often clogs the pores of the wood with dust, and may leave less torn wood fibers than sanding.
