Damn that's a big slab of maple...
Probably too late for you, but if the slab is under 24", a lot of lumber yard offer planing service and will probably do it for you for $30. (Takes 10 min to run it thru a planer on both sides)
Some place have planer up to 50" too, but will cost you a lot more than $30
When I tried hand planing, I ended up spending half a day trying to sand the surface smooth...
