   I also was recently surprised to find that a scraper was so amazingly efficient.  I smoothed a 3 foot by 9 foot glued up hardwood countertop with my little 3 inch by 5 inch cabinet scraper.  It took about 3 hours but the finish sanding afterward was only about fifteen minutes and I had estimated my time with my random orbit sander to do the same job at somewhere in the neighborhood of several days (after an hour of hard labor with minimal success).  I used about a 1/4 inch off of the width of my scraper in the process (due to many resharpenings).

   Randy -

   I'd love to see the scraper and the chessboard as well. I love the description of the materials!

   You scraper tip is a definite nominee for submission to the magazine of your choice!  Thanks for posting it.

   As you can see, we're all hoping for pictures (hint, hint).

   Thanks friends,

   I wish I could post pictures now and a little more of my experience, but alas, the pressure of the season is upon me - I have to give the chessboard in a day or so - Christmas tends to come early at our house.
