My guess is that the same technique the carpenter employ to remove wood 
is used.
He would use a saw or knife to make a number of cuts to a certain depth, 
and then chip the wood between the cuts away.
This gives a convenient and safe way to remove even large amounts of 
material with high precision.
Some grinding of the surface may then be needed. What we see traces of 
here may be the  transversal  cuts which obviously
are of slightly different depths.
