What do people use to fair out gouge and plane marks from carved top plates? I'm working with a piece of western red cedar and another of Sitka spruce. The gouge/plane marks aren't huge, but naturally they're everywhere. Unless my scraper is wickedly sharp--which doesn't last that long--it tends to tear the wood. Do you folks generally just use sandpaper, or is there another tool/method that works well?
Thanks for your thoughts.
