Short version:
Is there generally speaking places where i can take my 19"x19"x2" piece
of wood and get it planed? (not sure if that's the right terminology,
but you get the idea) I'm imagining some sort of woodshop/workshop
where you pay to use the machine/services. I live in San Diego, CA, USA
if that's helpful. I don't want to have to spend $2,000 or whatever to
get a 20" planer.
Longer version:
So, i'm working to build a table go board [1] that's basically
19"x19"x2". I started out with two pieces of basswood thatI i ran
through a friend's planer that's i'm guessing 13" wide? I joined the
pieces of wood together (using a biscut joiner), and sanded it and gave
it one or two coats of polyurethane.
I set aside the project as i had to move, and unfortunately during the
move the board got a nice ding in it. So, i'd like to shave off a part
of the board to make it level again. I need it pretty level so that i
can draw the lines on it - and also for perfectionist reasons.
I'm not sure if planers work well with wood that has a polyurethane
coating - or would i have to sand that off first? I also could just try
to sand it down evenly, but i'd rather have it properly flat rather
than eyeballing it.
Thanks in advance!

Oh and just to make sure my response didn't seem snarky I really didn't
think of asking a local cabinet shop / carpenter. My previous post
might have come across as ungrateful, and i just wanted to rectify
that.
Thanks again!

In my opinion, a snarky response would have been justified.
You can raise dings out with water and a hot iron. Raw wood because
the finish gets in the way of the water. I have had lots of dings pop
up with the hot iron which is kind of fun to do.

Have you tried raising the dent with a damp cloth and a steam iron? If it's
a sharp creasw it won't work, but a dent will often swell the concavity.

What is keeping you from calling some local cabinet shops and asking them if
they do that kind of work?
