I am not sure if my wood grain is wrong. In reference from another message on this forum I think that they are quarter sawn cedar strips. But I am not sure. All I know is that when I plane it certain strips have chunks ripped out of them. I don't believe it is a question of plane sharpness(I sharpen it daily). If I set the depth any shallower I don't get a cut. At this point I am looking at continuation and just filling in the pits later with filler. Is this my only option?
