Brian Burns wrote a book about "Double Bevel Sharpening" which is fairly thorough in it treatment of forming a really sharp edge for planes and chisels. I watched as he demonstrated his process, and as a test he took shavings from birds eye maple and curly redwood you could almost read a newspaper through. In the book you learn about how cutting angle and clearance angle effect the cutting process, and how to adjust for different types of wood grain.
LMI has or at least used to have that book for sale.
