I have learned that the cabinet scraper does not work good for me for this
type of job.
I use what I have control over it. In this case, subject to the type of
glue and its hardness, I use a 1" wide wood chisel at an angle of about 45
degree in forward motion. On some work I use a 2" wide wood chisel. The
other tool is a paint scraper with a pulling motion with the grain. I make
sure that my tool are well sharpen so I can cut through the glue ridge.
Using sand paper to remove glue will quickly filled the paper.

Assume the panel has been milled to final thickness, but in the middle
there's a little dip at one of the glue joints, leaving a 1/16" ridge
about a foot long. Wood is white oak. Ignoring sandpaper, what tool
would you use to even out the joint? I'm thinking of a cabinet scraper
or maybe just a smoothing plane. At work I just grab a Dynabrade with
some 100grit and feather it in, but I was wondering what the
Neanderthals would do...
