 | You can see in this picture how the lines around the tear-out have been planed as much as the tear-out itself. By the time I was down to just the deepest parts of the tear-out I had most of the divot feathered out. |
    | Today I sharpened up a fresh card scraper and set out to remove that hideous section of tear-out that demonically birthed yesterday. First, I used a pencil to darken in the area of tear-out. I then drew a series of loose swirls around the section of tear-out to provide a reference to how far out I needed to feather the planing. As you can see in the pictures, I kept feathering outward as I scraped to avoid putting a divot in the board. |
 | I think the results speak for themselves and I am glad it turned out well. Next time, I hope to avoid having to correct this type of mishap, though I know it will happen again... |
