My Shave Horse Project - Part 3

Well on my way through planing. I probably should have started with a chisel on the high spots, but my block plane in rather large, so I just took it head-on, and it worked. One side is almost completely smooth. It looks really sharp when it is planed perfectly smooth and straight.

Also, now testing the plank against the flatness of the table, it is very near straight. I might have a warp of 1/4". The only real issue is the variance from side to side. One side is at least 1/4" thicker than the other. Well, more planing for the thick side then. I've made about enough shavings to stuff a mattress.

Next I really need to cut out the other pieces with the chainsaw so I can start them drying.
