You're right to question how Delignit and its glue lines can be
chiseled. Some of the stock-removal passes at the notching could be
done with wood-carving rasps (riflers) or maybe even course files.
All this manual labor will lead you to carving burrs mounted in
hand-held air routers. Just a thought.
