Burnishing a Bevel on a Scraper

Burnishing a Bevel on a Scraper

Which side do you put the lip when you are burnishing a bevel on a scraper?

Michael Dresdner: On bevel-edge scrapers, as opposed to square-edged ones, the lip normally curls from the 45° -bevel toward the flat side. It arcs out over the flat, though since you brought it up, I can’t see any reason why you could not burnish in the other direction if you chose to do so.
