If the pieces are pretty far off I would make a router sled

lots of youtube videos showing how to make and use these. I have flattened and thicknessed planed many boards with mine.

​

If you only need a little bit of flattening, or want to clean up a board that you just routed down: Order some adhesive sandpaper roll

Obtain a flat strip of granite from a local marble countertop place, they gave me a leftover for free. 4x30". Apply the sandpaper to the granite. Pencil cross hatches onto your board and sand until they all disapear.

If you do pursue diamond stones, here is a list of what I have.. I am not sure if this the be-all-end-all, and I can definitely recommend trying lots of things, because sharpening seems to be something so personal. Just wanted to collate in one place what I have settled on thus far.

This is one of the cheaper setups. I think it would be interesting to try ceramics at the top end, and better leather for a multi-strop setup.. Just ran out of funds after trying several failed other methods ;)

OP gave you some good advice about research. I'd add that if you can somehow find someone local who can show you what sharp really is, that would be a big bonus. I haven't found that person yet myself, because I am a hermit.

Stones:

  • DMT D8X (Extra-Coarse) - $55. Amazon

  • DMT D8C (Coarse) - $55. Amazon

  • DMT D8F (Fine) - $53. Amazon

  • DMT D8E (Extra Fine) - $55. Amazon

    Paddles:

  • DMT Paddle Kit (Coarse, Fine, Extra-Fine) - $23. Amazon

    Stropping:

  • Leather piece of scrap - From an old weight belt. Can be bought new for about $12, but I suggest cutting up a thrift store leather jacket or something.

  • Woodstock Honing Compound - $13. Amazon

  • 1" x8" Pine board as strop backing

  • 3M Spray adhesive - $13. Amazon

    Sandpaper:

  • Porter Cable 80 grit PSA Roll - $12. Amazon

  • Porter Cable 120 grit PSA Roll - $12. Amazon

  • Shower Door Glass used as sandpaper backing -- I got mine from the scrap bin at a glass shop, you can use premade granite blocks from Woodcraft for about $40. Or granite countertop scraps. If money is no object buy something premade just to avoid the "is it me or the tool?" doubts.

  • Miscellaneous wet/dry sandpaper sheets in grits from 220-1500 for sharpening gouges and carving tools, I wrap around wooden dowels along with stropping compound to polish at the end. I bought the dia-wave sharpener and it was not as good.

I would get a sheet of plate glass and a long strip of sandpaper. Then as long as your lumber is reasonably flat to begin with it shouldn't take too much to clean up the surface/make it flat for gluing. I haven't actually done this, but I think it would be worth a try.
