Every hand tool woodworker should have these in his or her arsenal since they leave a much cleaner surface than normal rasps yet still remove wood quickly. Here's the usual disclaimer-- I'm in no way affiliated with them except I bought a rasp from them 2 years ago when they ran the same great deal.
