I would have liked to be able to get a slightly finer finish but I guess they are rasps and there is only a level that can be achieved with them. The corse cutting rasps worked really well. I was able to remove a significant amount of material in the tight areas at the same speed as rotary burrs and with much better control. I ended up buying the whole set of rasps as there is enough shape variation between them to achieve almost any curve shape required. I liked how tapered they are also as this allowed me to get into some tight areas without needing to change rasps until I was up to the refining stage.
Thanks all that posted well wishes. Mother and child are doing really well. The chair is getting well used at the moment.
