Scartsen,skartzen chairmakers tool
Hi all,
I was recently talking to an old woodworker mate about how to solve a problem of mine (whilst making bows) and he suggested I try a scartsen SP? I tried googling various spellings but came up with nout.
He described it as a small handle with a small sqwiggly S or Z shapped blade on the end and was used, one handed to pull shavings off, like a scraper.
Anyone got any idea what he was on about?

The scraper is called a Skarsten Scraper... Maybe the best furniture scraper ever made and unfortunately ended production about 10 years ago.
I own the 80mm and the 62mm and have 4 unopened packets of hook blades now for sale... contact me!

Scraper photo
As promised, a photo of the scrapers. The small one is 35mm and large one 62mm across. These were nearly thrown out when I was having a clean up about two weeks ago.Scrapers.jpgScrapers.jpg

I used to have a couple many years back and was rather at a loss when blades were no longer available. I cant think of anything better that has come along as a replacement.
Regards
John

Still have my 2, but alas, the inability to source blades is a pain the the proverbial...I loved them.
