Just a quick question for the more experienced in the area of finishing. . .
I'm starting to finish the frame for my wife's craft table and gave scraping a shot instead of sanding. It's made out of soft maple, and thus far, most of what I've scraped has ended up glass-smooth. There are little areas, though, where the wood ends up fuzzy when I run my fingers over it, sometimes only in one direction, sometimes in both directions.
I've tried de-burring the scrapers and re-rolling the burr, standing the scraper up more to a 90*, leaning the scraper over farther; nothing will get rid of these small areas of fuzziness. I don't know if it's going to bother the finish at all, but it's annoying the compulsive perfectionist in me.
So. . .any advice for getting the random small fuzzy areas glass smooth like the surrounding areas when scraping?
