Revise: Shaping TechniquesFor example, a curved handle can be sawn close to its outline, refined with a rasp and then smoothed with glass paper. Check the completed outline against the marking or template before moving on.
Include a limitation when comparing processes: rasps remove material quickly but leave marks; glass paper improves the surface but is slow for major shaping.
