I have no great experience with planes, and am in need of some intel. I have a Stanley #3, a Stanley #4 and a #5, a block plane and a shoulder plane. None of which were any good at all for planing this piece of walnut I got from a slab cut off. Is there a plane that would work? Low angle? Or is this grain mess just too crazy to try planing it. I set up the #3 to take a nice thin shaving off a piece of scrap maple, but it was a disaster on this. Dug in, chattered, skipped, etc. And the plane iron is plenty sharp.
