I have been using some cranky redgum of late that my thicknesser has been struggling with causing much tear-out. A nice sharp hand plane may help me out in these situations.
If you are serious about hand planing to fix this tear out problem you need a plane with a steep angle and a heavy iron.
A Norris or Spiers would work or an HNT Gordon smoother is a current Oz made plane designed to do just this. If the stuff is too cranky the blade can be reversed and you have a scraper which will remove any tear out from any timber.
