A plane is a very accurate way to bring a board to the right size. You can take off a few thou at a time, you'll get your 1/8" in no time.
Make sure the sole is smooth and clean and the blade is razor sharp. Fluffy curls should come out if it's set up right. Go "downhill" with respect to the grain, you don't want to dig into the grain and raise a splinter.
Once you get in your rhythm, it can be therapeutic. You'll find other things to plane.
