leveling before laying wood

The plywood subfloor I'm going to install over was laid over old "tree" joists. Logs hewn on one side. In a couple of places the ply doesn't meet up, one piece rides a little higher than the other. As this is going to be the place I nail into, I want to level these rough spots up before I lay the floor. Self leveling compound doesn't seem like the right thing as it's concrete and would most likely crack and crumble when nailed through.
What would you use?
Thanks
Derek

Leveling subfloor
I have read forum posts where posters chiseled down the joists to the appropriate level so subfloor would be level.

Derek:
Patricia has the right ideas. You may get a few responses at the following site, as some of these guys run into conditions similar from time to time. They may get a kick out of this subject as well. I'd suggest in making a post as specific as possible in regards to location and your dilemma. Don't even mention self levelling.
Good Luck

Thanks for the info on that forum. They seem like an interesting crowd!
I already began lifting boards and leveled them the chisel way. Looks good. I have got one nasty spot, though, where four 4x8 sheets meet! I may do something Mickey Mouse with that one as one sheet runs under a woodstove.
