A good set of cabinet scrapers are a basic feature of a cabinet maker’s tool kit. The classic rectangular scraper is an indispensable tool, while a few curved scrapers, like the goose neck and the other curved scraper in this set are essential to having the basic capability most traditional woodworkers require.

They are ideal for fine finishing, especially on coarse grained timber and there is nothing to beat a well-sharpened cabinet scraper. Many people these days seem to believe that all finishing is should be done with abrasives but no abrasive in common workshop use can equal the smooth finish left by a scraper.
