This sounds like a good idea to me. Thickness sanding (a special drum sander that works like a planer) may give a slightly better finish, but you can sand after planing too.

You may be able to sand out most of the variation with a 2 foot long 2x4 sanding block or similar.

> take the strips to a lumber yard and pay to have them planed.
