Even expert carvers find themselves in situations where it\u2019s challenging to get a clean cut. Either there\u2019s a bad spot in the wood or you can\u2019t get a tool into the area. The best tool to reach for in these situations is often a rasp, but the utility of traditional rasps is limited because, like the metal files they are related to, they cut only on the push stroke.<\/p>\n

Enter the Kutzall Grit Hand Rasps. Kutzall has adapted their carbide-point bit technology and used it to create a set of grit hand rasps that cut on either a push or pull stroke. These tools, which come in a variety of shapes and grits, stand head and shoulders above traditional rasps, bringing much of the convenience of power carving to hand carvers.<\/p>\n

I use the coarse-grit rasps to remove wood quickly. Like coarse-grit carbide-point bits, these rasps will leave scratches on the wood. You can remove them with the finer-grit rasps, which leave only fine scratches on the wood, especially if you shape with, rather than across, the grain.<\/p>\n

I find the small, tapered, fine-grit rasps excellent for cleaning up cottonwood bark houses. They remove rough spots effortlessly, from the window details to the tight areas on a roof. They never require sharpening, and if they get clogged with glue or a resinous wood, you can easily clean them with oven cleaner or a butane torch.<\/p>\n

Kutzall Grit Hand Rasps range in price from $25 to $49, depending on the grit, shape, and size. For more information or to purchase, call 810-765-100 or visit www.Kutzall.com.<\/i><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
