With metal tools there is a lot of info, and stuff you can do. Wouldn't a tool that uses oil to soften the wood, lubricate the tool, and to flow out the finish be cool. Patent applied for.

My thing about the adhesive deal so far, is that as it has been described so far, it isn't wear so much as deposition. LV and many others have done microphotography of edges and they are worn not rounded over due to deposition. I'm not saying it doesn't happen, just not feeling it yet.
