Boy, am I over my head! So, is what we're talking about basically a scraper that's only about, say, 1/4 inch wide? Then you remove very small amounts of wood using the burr on the end of this tool in a pulling motion across the mouth opening of the plane? Is that the idea? I will be cutting back about 1/4 inch of hard rosewood. I'm afraid this process will take me forever! Would it be some kind of sin to drill a straight line of small holes first?
