Yea, rowey woods are tough. For stock preparation, I find the Shelix cutterhead works great on those woods. The scraper plane (with a “microtoothed” blade, as needed) and hand scrapers can get the surface to where very little hand sanding will finish the job, especially if a film finish will be used.

I still haven’t figured out how to handle my favorite, Sapele, minimizing tear out. I hate turning to the ROS. Oak is a snap compared to that.
