No reason at all if you are talking about a standard Wood turning scraper; I’ve reshaped a couple.

Personally, I call square scrapers "blanks" that I'll re-profile to suit my needs. :D

Generally bull-nosed, although I have a couple which are only gently rounded.... for use by SWMBO. The only square scraper I have in the rack is a 5mm parting tool!

FWIW, I use scrapers quite often on materials such as Tas. Blackwood.

So, yeah... go for it!

As said above they all start out square
