-- nice recovery, They should pay extra for that mistake, Eric E.

Block plane easing the corners on your box :)

-- Bill, Yo!......in Brooklyn & Steel City :)

Not a scraper, Eric.

-- Dave - Santa Fe

Not easing corners, Bill. Nor chamfering.

I have seen shavings like that, removing bark from a green sapling. Done with a butter knife
or
cleaning up the edge of plywood with a block plane

-- nice recovery, They should pay extra for that mistake, Eric E.

From cutting grooves, or dados with a plough plane.

Eric got close enough. It’s cleaning up the edge of a piece of 1/4” Baltic birch plywood with a jack plane (set to about 1/64” per pass – I routinely cut plywood 1/4” from the line, then plane down to the line, aiming for about 20 passes to get there).

The ragged edges on the wood shavings (from the cross-grain plies, that I’m planing off the end grain) are what make it look different from chamfering or peeling bark or other operations on solid wood.

Ha! I was going to guess you had sharpened your scratch stock tool

That makes much shorter curls, Duck. But yeah, the edges are similarly raggedy. Maybe that’ll be the next challenge. ;-)

Usually get those shavings from my Stanley 45…...ploughing grooves.
