Rasp
A rasp is a woodworking tool used for shaping wood. It consists of a long narrow bar of steel, flat or rounded, usually with a single handle on one end. The bar has had triangular teeth cut into it. Rasps generally cut more coarsely than files. They are useful for rapidly removing wood from curved surfaces. They remove less wood than a drawknife, so they are easier to control.
