you don't want a hand-planer! you want a JOINER. Better Cabinet shops have them. The generally won't run any wood on them the have had any nails or screws holes in the wood for fear that it might still have part of one still in the wood. Ask your Father how his joiner got nicked by a friend old wood.
I just have to say that when we were putting those cardboard boxes in your van last night and you showed me your black walnut, I was thinking, "I don't think she bought enough wood...and those boards are kind of small. I wonder how she thinks she's going to make a table out of that..."
Now that I see this photo, I see that you'd already moved most of the wood out of your van! :) Made me laugh.
Sorry sis, if you were here I could run these through the machine planers at the school, the work would be done on all the pieces in no time at all. Also, be sure to account for loss by doing all your measured cutting after all the restorative work.
my wood guy has a planer that he'll run everything through so the the table-top pieces are the same height for me, but I need to cut everything down to size first. If it would just warm up outside I could get to work!
