: Cedar can have a lot of grain reversals, even if the stock is
: clear. Planing isn't usually the final step, sanding is. I
: usually plane from either side until I get to the point where
: the grain reverses, and then leave what I need to. You're going
: to sand it smooth when you're fairing anyway. If you want, if
: you're using hardwood, or if you're not building a kayak, the
: go-to is a really sharp card scraper with a good hook. There are
: other solutions, but probably not necessary in the days of good
: sanding equipment, especially on a wooden kayak.

I just turn the plane till it's about 45 degrees to the work then it slices thru the odd grain easier.
