- Description
-
Base consisting of a rectangular wooden plank, on which a smaller, thicker piece of wood is placed, on which four smaller, transverse pieces of wood are placed, all holding a long wooden plank at the end of which a serrated metal blade is inserted.
Used to remove hair from animal skin to make leather. A demanding technique for the body, especially on the wrists and hands. Be sure to do this step in such a way as to preserve the skin. For example, it cannot be used in winter. The scraper is also installed in such a way that it does not need to be transported. Before using it, a huge amount of preparation work is required. This practice has now been abandoned by most Anishinabek, as our way of life has changed so much.
Roger Wylde mentions that he had never seen a scraper made in this way, i.e. vertically. This type of scraper requires a lot of muscular strength.
