I met a woman years ago making hand made tables. She would cut bits of glass, just ordinary window glass, and use it as a scraper across the surface of the table top. Instead of sandpaper fluffing up the surface the freshly cut pieces of glass would make it perfectly smooth and flat. then she oiled it with linseed or something like that. Looked great.
Yes fine woodworkers like luthiers dont use sandpaper at all only planes and scrapers.
