Hi all, I though I would ask the experts. Sorry if this is a repeat of previous threads. I want to acquire a scrub plane.

The first project is rough sawn 8/4 cherry. I have purchased 3 planes for Rich Niemiec here on the Creek - they are Stanley 4C, 5, and 6. Given these parameters, I'm thinking if I start with a scrub plane on the rough sawn cherry, I have the other 3 planes to get it down to a smooth finish.

So, my research has yielded Lie Nielsen, Veritas, and ECE Primus. WHat would you do?

Thanks for your help,
Dave
