Questioning the existence of this article
I find no real evidence that a wood scribe is a specific tool. If this article is supposed to be about scribing in general "wood scribe" is not a good title. I do not think this article should exist. In the previous merge discussion a link points to an encyclopedia of furniture which shows what is better known as a timber scribe or race knife as a wood scribe. If a timber scribe is what this article is supposed to be about it would be better to title the article Timber scribe, the most common name for the tool. Also, scribe as a verb should have it's own article rather than the current situation where Scribing (joinery) is currently a redirect to Coping (joinery). Coping is one type of scribing and should be a subset of a broader article of scribing. Scribing in construction is particularly important in log building, timber framing, and some stonework such as the Inca's used at Saksaywaman. Scribing is used regularly in carpentry, renovation and building restoration to fit irregular pieces of material. I do not think wood scribe is a good title for a general article on scribing because any materials can be scribed together. Any thoughts? Jim Derby (talk) 13:04, 26 March 2015 (UTC)
