Yeah - whether you use a bone, a spoon, a smooth dowel, or some other kind of object, you need *something* in order to apply pressure.I disagree. I’ve used them for years and they smooth out the creases in the shell cordovan as well as removing scratches and smoothing out nicks as well.

The pressure seems to do three things: (1) force the lubricant/cream/polish deeper into the dense shell, (2) smooth the microtears that cause the dry-looking lighter patches in deep creases, and (3) flatten the waves back down.
Different people will swear by a bone or a spoon. Either way, the pressure does seem to help old shell.
