Working with large stock; jointer alternative?

Its for a TV stand for a log home made out of white pine. It would fit. Yeah, it may look a little rustic, but thats what I'm shooting for. The timber stairs that are in the house (this piece is leftover from the stringers) looks very nice and I'd like something similar.

Anything like fine mahogany in this house would look like earrings on a goat, not that the house looks like a goat :-). There's no chrome or gold brass in the house either. Can't stand the stuff (in this setting anyway).

Well, heck, you should've educated us sooner! We get all caught up in our incra fences with 1/1000th hairline adjustments and paper thin shavings from our razor sharp Japanese gizmos. I think you should grab that bowsaw like someone suggested and put some history behind that to-be TV stand. :-)

Yeah, sorry bout dat! I'd be in trouble if I had to make it "cabinet grade" quality. Nice thing about log homes, imprefections are appreciated. I guess that would make my wife a victorian, and me an old shed.
