The term 'Smoothed, in a way' can be answered by two crossword solutions: 'Planed' and 'Sanded'. Planing is a woodworking technique that involves using a tool to shave off thin layers of wood from the surface of a board. Sanding is a similar process, but it involves using sandpaper to remove small amounts of material from the surface of an object. Both of these techniques are used to create a smooth finish on wood or other materials.
