I believe the bullseye pick is actually for fine work.  The hammer and 
dolly are for the larger work.  Once the panel is close to right with 
the body hammer and dolly, you sand it to find minor highs and lows, and 
use a bullseye pick for them.  At least that is what I remember from 
some video I saw not to long back.
