The blades i had were fairly used so i thought it might be a good idea
to flip them which i did about halfway thorugh the planing process. It
seemed to help some but not compleltly.

Well for one i'm trying to plane with the grain but it's pretty gnarly

When you said "beautiful" I wondered if it was gnarly. That's the problem
with gnarly wood is the grain runs in every direction. Again, the dampness
might help. You got a sharpness comment too and that is important.
