you will learn what each sort of wood is capable of.

Some woods chip much easier than others. It could also be HOW MUCH material you are trying to remove at once.

Some deep cuts need to be accomplished by going at it several times to remove a little bit with each cut.

you might also look into how sharp your chisels are. Strop your chisels as the project progresses.
