I sprung for a number of Auriou rasps a few years ago. I don't make that much curved furniture, but they have been invaluable when I do, and they are very, very well made.
Pricey, no doubt, but clearly in another league compared with the Nicholson (along with the equally excellent Liogier rasps).
I am very happy I made the purchase.

- It's above my pay grade. Mongo only pawn in game of life.
