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...
You know, now that you say that...I really should have looked into it :P When I buy the slab for my dining room table, I'm definitely going to have it planed first.

Thanks!
