If you can find it, the book entitled “The Essential Woodworker” by Robert Wearing is an excellent reference book for hand tool woodworking. It covers hand planing techniques and practice tutorials. Hand planing is a practiced skill which with enough practice it’ll be easier to get things square. There are times when the wood will simply not cooperate no matter the effort 🙂
