Hi, Scott (and others)
	Yes, a scratch stock is the way to go, but you need two blades,
both with the same profile, but beveled on opposite sides. One will go
around the table in a clockwise direction and the other one
counterclockwise. This may sound like an early April Fools joke, but
it's not, because as you approach end-grain you need to scrape "downhill".
	I learned this when making a ship's wheel.
