Nice looking plane. It will serve you well.
I am also building a bench out of radius-edged 2×4. I did not take off the round bits before glue-up, just smoothed out the faces. One side of the benchtop is flattened, as is the well board. One apron came out horribly twisted but I am almost done flattening it. The other apron isn’t that bad so I will save it for last. What really helps is my husband joins me with a second plane. 🙂 This is way more fun with two people.
In the end, the round edges on the 2x4s dissappear as the laminations are planed flat. It seems less trouble than cutting them off first.
I want to keep planing aprons this weekend. If I get super ambitious I may start laminating legs.
