If you happen to have, or have access to, Dean Torges' "Hunting the Osage Bow" book, he does a great job descibing the process.

Even I understood it!

That link from KS Stickbow is excellent.  The burnishing part is important to get a good "hook" on the edge.  A scraper seems like it is almost too simple to work, but really is an amazing tool.

I found some flat metal scrapers I use.They are the size of a index card.I cut them into what ever size I need . they only cost 1$ each. I love them.
