I have just finished laminating a bench top as well. I used Southern yellow Pine, after researching the densities of white wood versus the pine. I felt like tearout might be issue since I am very amateur at hand planing. However, I have learned to sharpen the iron exactly as Paul does and it has made a huge difference. But I’m also experiencing a bit of tearout in both directions on some of the boards. I think white wood maybe be less dense thus causing more tear out if things are not absolutely perfect… sharpening, squareness of the iron to the wood (lateral adjustment). Things like that. It’s not an answer but it might be due to the low density of white wood in general. Maybe a low angle jack plane would work better? Maybe someone else can have a solution we could both learn from
