Shear Scraper in Use:
The double-ended shear scraper will eliminate most of your sanding. It leaves the outside of your piece very smooth.

CERAMIC SLIPSTONE $25
The ceramic slipstone is used to raise a smooth burr on the double-ended shear scraper.
CERAMIC SLIPSTONE: This is a hard to find, exceptional quality high tech ceramic material that will never wear out, and is perfect for raising a burr on the shear scraper or honing your gouge and carving tools. A must have! 5-1/2" long x 1/2" wide in a protective tube.
Instructions for Use: Use the tool with the edge at 45 degrees to the wood in a pulling motion. This will allow you to make subtle changes to the shape, and leaves a very smooth surface that requires minimal sanding. The handle is solid aluminum with a special sure grip coating. Turners have requested this tool for years-it's finally here!


Sharpening Instructions: Set a toolrest on the grinder so that you can touch up the bevel after raising the burr three or four times. To raise a burr; rub the flat side with a ceramic slipstone to remove the old burr and then stroke the slipstone along and up on the bevel side to raise a small burr. You will have to lift the stone off of the bevel and onto the edge a bit more each time you do it - that is why you regrind after three or four times.  I use a fine ceramic slipstone.
