For the Car spring route: no need to anneal first most of the spring shops recurve springs with just brute force. Hammer and a cavity anvil. the spring steel will hold an edge pretty well just take when sharpening. keep the tool cool and don't over heat. Robo brings up a good point, if you are going for deep scraping you have just created an industrial sized chatter tool. A better set up might be a god heavy piece of plain steel with a tool steel insert clamped in the end.

Please excuse the first 4 tools, this is a generic picture of some of my home made tools.
The one of interest is the far right. It's a Roberts Sorby handle and Blade I came across without any scrapers. Sorby no longer support this tool so I had to improvise. A bit of High Carbon Ground Flat Stock (key stock) and I was able to make a couple to suit my needs and can make any others I need in the future.
Look again, the blade is nothing more than 3/8" thick steel rectangular section bar, drilled & tapped at one end and ground to a tang for a handle the other.
For interest, the other tools are a thin parting tool made from an industrial hacksaw blade, and a handless Skew (now available from Henry Taylor) and a couple of small box scrapers I've made from old planer blades.Dragonfly
No-one suspects the dragonfly!

Mcjing have a few deep hollowing tools at reasonable prices. You make your own handle and cutters also if you like to keep cost down.
