What is the species? How big is the diameter? With Moso, in order to get it completely planed, the boo has to have a diameter of about 5" or so. With this, it will plane flatten fairly easily...

I have seen some guys from north AL use it and it did fine, I cut some that had what looked like a double node and it
broke between the nodes when I got it tillered almost to 28 inches.
I didn't ask anyone about the double node until it was too late I have found some down toward Roanoke that is about twice that
size but I haven't got around to cutting it yet to try it. I have a jointer planer if you need to use it your more than welcome.
