sweet responses, guys! now i have a lot of option to start the project, though might take a while to finish considering my time challenges hehehe. though i leaning towards using an electric planer for the job. the router part looks enticing too
As long as you enjoy doing it whether it's power or hand method, the important thing in dimensioning a wood is how you approach/attach the wood, remember you cannot glue up the saw dust once you plane it 🙂

thanks for all the input, boggieman and the rest! correct! hence, i prepped up my cleaning aids hehehe. still torn with whether to get a manual or electronic planer, while im sure ill enjoy hand planing, i dont have the luxury of time, baka maunahan pq ng tatay ko at gawing stair steps ung kahoy hahaha!!!
, you can look for some coco lumber shop that uses a large blade to rip the coco lumber. here in south cotobato, they call those shops as tistisan. find a shop that is very close to your location. the shop will advice you the max depth that they can cut - the bigger their blade, the better for you. here in south cotobato, they charge P1 per board foot of the output lumber which is really quite cheap for me. your only problem is how to bring the wood to their shop. take note, mahogany is a restricted lumber so, even transporting 1 pc of lumber can get you into trouble if you pass by a check point.
another option is to look for people that normally rips a coconut tree using a chain saw. not sure if you have those in rizal, but here in south cotobato, there are a lot who provide this service. here, they normally charge P5 per board foot of the output lumber + gasoline for the chain saw.
once you solve the above problem, the best way to cut your lumber into size is first to cut the lumber into 5" width lumber and then cut each into 1" thick lumber for your table project ... to get 1" thick lumber that has a width of 11", the only way to do it is using a chainsaw and the person doing it must be really skilled to do that precise cutting. i have seen such persons here in south cotobato, you just need to scout around in rizal if such skilled labor exist.
i got all this info when we were building our house and we need to use hardwood (e.g. red lauan and santol) for the stairs. the option i took was to bring the lumber to a tistisan to cut it into size ... cheers

thanks for the input, boo! i'm actually planning to go around later to check for shops that will actually take the job. i wasn't aware that mahogany is restricted though, ill make sure to be very discreet when i bring them given that the shop where i bought this from didn't give any receipts

Not against your method Boo, but isn't more work? And you still need to handplane the wood after bandsaw, chainsaw, table saw to have a wood ready for glue up or joinery?
Take a look at this video, I could not think of an easier way than this, simplest method of all.
Ewan ko kung common practice, pero ang ginagawa ko to check for flatness ay budburan ng powder like patching compound then run a slightly wet straight stick (plywood edge ay madalas tuwid). Pili ka ng isang corner of your material as your pivot point then swing the stick.

oks na, guys, went there earlier, nagkandaligaw ligaw, saw the place but was close. went to angono instead, nag ikot, na gutter oto, nagasgas 🙁 but i managed to find a place along hiway. so, all in all, after 3 fail purchases of a hand plane (first was epic fail - parang pang ahit lng from lazada, 2nd was a lotus finishing plane, 3rd was an electric planer - had to cancel it as i already saw the message here), a deep cut on my car's bumper (still had to bring her to a mechanic tom as i saw it's rack-end bottoming at the street), i managed to get the woods worked on! yay!!! ill post the pics here as soon as i get it 😎
