Could always belt sand it nearly flat then finish the surface with the plane. I mean, it's pine or spruce or such, so it should go pretty quickly unless you built one thirty meters long. Hand tools are outstanding at what they do when they're more efficient, more precise, or more effective than power tools for that particular task, otherwise you're trading your time for RSI and smugness. Wish I could convince The Roomie of this. Watching him do woodworking with no power tools for aesthetic reasons is both painful and boring.

I had teachers who would tear you a new one for planing after you sand. Any grit that got left behind would wreck the blade edge.
No problem is insoluble, but at Ksp = 2.943×10−25 Mercury Sulphide comes close.

Oh absolutely. But if it's your plane and you're the one having to sharpen it...
