Thanks, Paddy. I use the woodie for get things roughed down (did same on cherry)
because it's easier on the arms and has a nice open mouth. I do my best to avoid
excessive tearout and leave enough meat to remove any after I switch to my #5
(with less camber) before the jointer and smoother. In this case the outside of
the sides are nice and smooth, the insides and drawer bottoms a bit less fussy.

Fabulous work, and great action photos. Do you always use your wood body plane
for flattening/truing, or just for softwoods like pine? I find my Bailey pattern
planes “dig in,” sometimes, though I would guess that in this case, you don’t
care much about tool marks in secondary wood.

Best,
