Curly maple has all the compassion and willingness to negotiate as did Tommy Lee Jones in The Fugitive. You can explain that your iron is freshly sharpened, your mouth set just right, and you’re taking a shaving measured by electron microscopy. Curly maple listens patiently, considers your position for a moment, and then tears out anyway.

Hand Plane: I sharpened the iron to perfection.
Curly Maple: I don’t care!

Chisel: I honed the edge on 30,000 grit.
Curly Maple: I don’t care

Helical Cutter Head: I’m a helical cutter head.
Curly Maple: I don’t care.

So, what do you do about it?

Cabinet Scraper: I’m your last hope.
Curly Maple: I don’t care.

Jump? Run? Try to fool it with a disguise? 

Hand Plane: I belong to George Nakashima.
Curly Maple: I don’t care.

So, at the end of the day, what do you do with curly maple? Usually, it is just jump and hope for the best.
