I am currently making some small plates for practice (see whats on your lathe). They have a significant flat on the face. I am currently using my largest skew (1 inch) as a scraper to true this area up before sanding. I would rate the process a fairly good, but am wondering what others use? I also thought about making a tool out of a heavy plane blade (like for wooden or Krenov style planes). Maybe round the corners so they don't dig in, and turn a good burr on the edge. Maybe even modify the bevel so its closer to a scraper angle. I also thought of a Stanley style iron, but these are likely too thin and would chatter. Any and all advice appreciated.
Thanks. Be safe and stay well.
