Has anyone had the chance to use the LN large scraping plane or a plane equivalent to it. If so, what sort of job do you think it would do on a highly figured, curly maple tabletop. I am using a 4-1/2 smoothing plane with regular frog, blade sharpened and bevel at 35 degrees. Still with a lot of tear out. Any and all suggestions welcomed and thanks in advance.
