Ask the Staff


Question:

I am interested in building a rocking chair and was wondering what are the best rasps to use for it?

Thanks,
James


Answer:

James,

We would recommend the following three types of rasps:

  1. A rough cutting rasp that is 5-6 grain
  2. A medium cutting rasp (9,10,11)
  3. A fine cutting rasp (13,14,15)

You'll want coarse rasps for fast shaping and then finer rasps to follow up.

Regards,

Highland Woodworking
