"finish planing the belly" = finish surface planing (using a hand-plane to remove materially incrementally to achieve a smooth surface of desired dimensions and parallelism) the section of bamboo which shall form the belly (front, or the the towards target) of the japanese asymmetric longbow ("yumi") I have been working on for several months ;)
for further quick reference on this type of bow, look here:

walp... while planing the belly, I had the TV on in the adjoining living room, tuned to FNC
O'Reilly came on.
Among other segments, he had a taped discussion with Susan Estrich (who is pimping her pro-shrew book "The Case For Hillary" [BARF!])
I downed tools and watched this segment.
I am left to wonder, based on Estrich's behavior: Is Susan Estrich clinically insane?
