Yes i learned that the hard way on some hickory staves a while ago ( the back was 2 inches but it was undercut so the only usable peice was about 1")

Same here, keep it square if you can. I'd try to keep the knot near the center if you can, course, that's just me. Leave 'em wide and you can keep coming back to take more off as you see the flow lines of the grain. just my 2 cents.

Patb said it better that ive ever heard it said! The line " like a creek flowing around a stone" seems to click something in the mind as far as visualizing the flow of the grain. My opinion is to listen to the giants.
