scraper
Absolutely. Centuries, try many millennia... man has been finish smoothing woods with scrapers since well before he had metal.... many crafts requiring highly send woodworkers are still plied with scrapers of stone and bone. Btw, the bits of grit composing sand paper are in fact nothing more than miniature scrapers, which of course tear up wood surfaces far more than do broad edge blade scrapers. Man has always had sand, and used sand, for rough finishing... but for final smoothing (and precision dimensioning) scraping is and always has been the preferred method.... is how the stones comprising pyramids were made to such exacting standards.

That's because many plastics are actually porous and absorb fats just like woods.
Of course they do, those who still use wood... more and more butchering is turning towards plastic... then the cleaning tool of choice is steam and high pressure washers, same way the entire butchering facility is cleaned.... no chemical disinfectants are permitted, no bleach, no peroxide, not even salt or citrus... just H2O... ever you visit your local stupidmarket after hours, when meat cutting is done for the day and the cleaning crew is doing it's thing peer through the customer service window.... drive around back and you'll see the truck with the high pressure steam generator.... set up is pretty much like mobile carpet cleaners use, only the hose goes in to do the business. Some stupid market chains hire their own crew, some contract the job.. the cleaning crew goes from butcher shop to butcher shop all night. Anyone one tells you commercial food handling facilities are cleaned by some putz with a spritz bottle and a schmatah, is a friggin' liar, a really dumb schmuck, both.
Scrapers have always been and are still the primary wood smoothing tools of highly send professional wood workers... all the proof anyone needs is to observe musical instrument cabinetry makers and wood boat builders plying their crafts. Even metal and stone are smoothed with scrapers; that's how precision machine beds are finished, and ultra precision granite surface plates recieve final dimensioning by hand scraping... the journal bearing surfaces of blue printed internal combustion engines, such as used in racing cars, are fitted and smoothed by hand scraping. There are also scraping machines, but final scraping is done by hand.
