smooth finish

No rough edges

A smooth finish is a surface texture free of roughness, bumps, or visible marks.

The term appears in woodworking, painting, metalwork, and manufacturing to describe the final quality of a surface: The cabinet has a smooth finish that feels like glass.

A smooth finish may result from sanding, polishing, or applying multiple coats of varnish or lacquer.
