I think a hand planer would leave tiger stripes on the surface as it takes a fair bit off.

I would be concerned with the glass chipping. Then I'd be concerned that is cut myself or the glad would be embedded in the wood.
A smoother (size 3 or 4) hand plane can take super fine shavings (measured in the single digit thousandths of an inch) and leave a smooth surface with no stripes if it's setup correctly and sharp.
