Which will give the smoothest finish, a sharp skew or a sharp scraper?
Reason I ask is that the cut of a skew is likened to that of a hand plane which is followed by a scraper in furniture making for a really smooth surface before sanding, if any. I am curious if the same relationship is true in turning, i.e. routhing gouge, skew then scraper.
