slabs
The texture for a planks slab is literally just 2 planks while the planks block is 4, i find it odd that by taking 2 planks off of a stack it makes it so you can never put them back on and use it for stuff such as tools, sticks, CTs, or stairs. I am suggesting that a new crafting recipe be made for stacking 2 wood plank slabs into 1 wood plank block, however i am unsure if this would require one recipe, or about 30 for every type of wood.

stairs
Stairs are essentially 2 planks and 2 half-planks, now assuming these are made by simply taking 2 planks off of a stack, splitting them, and then putting 2 half-planks back on it makes little sense that 6 plank blocks (24 planks) can only make 4 plank stairs (8 planks and 8 half-planks) now lets assume we split 8 planks into 16 half-planks and just unstacked the rest into sets of 2, we now have 8 sets of 2 planks and 8 sets of 2 half-planks, stack those properly and you now have 8 stairs, not 4. Here i am just suggesting that the yield from the plank stair recipe at least be doubled, and the others brought up to 6 (or 8 depending on material, some may work) as it would merely be carving a fourth of the block out.

part 2 of this is that as the stairs are 2 half-planks atop 2 planks and a slab is 2 planks, slabs should be craftable at a 1 to 1 ratio from stairs, possibly also yielding a corner or some other such block to represent the 2 stacked half-planks which could then be crafted atop a slab for stairs again, half-planks would not be craftable back into plank slabs or plank blocks however because they were split and you can not join split wood back into a single piece of wood

beams
Beams, while not planks exactly, are still wood, and i feel that they should as such be able to be made into planks, wether it is 1 for 4 4 for 16 or 1 for 1 or whatever i do not know, but seeing as they are just thinner logs i would think they could be made into planks as well
