Depends, what size are the 9 blocks you want?
"73 is the best number because it's the 21st prime number, and it's mirror 37 is the 12th prime number, whose mirror 21 is the product of 7 times 3. Also in binary 73 is 1001001, which is a palindrome." - Nobel Laureate, Dr. Sheldon Cooper

Let us not seek the Republican Answer , or the Democratic answer. Let us not seek to fix the blame for the past. Let us accept our own responsibility for the future John F. Kennedy

If it is something I want looking the best when done, and I think Leapordwood is something you are probably going to want to maintain appearance on, I would use a BS for the smaller kerf. This allows shallow passes on the jointer/planer, but maybe with your small stick with a hand plane to get the saw marks off, and clean up the piece.
