Not funny, Murray. Melissa is asking a serious question, and guitar bellies are not made of hardwood. Or even thick wood.

About the cabinet scraper, I mean

Hey, I wasn't being funny, I was being serious.

What makes you think you couldn't use a cabinet scraper to remove finish from a soundboard ?

I've done it several times. You need to know how to sharpen it, and how to hold it, but once you have the hang of it there is no better, or quicker, tool for the job.
