I finally got the finished look I wanted on this Dining room table top. The wood is Brazilian Rosewood 72" x 46" x 3/4". The original boards were "field cut" and at a nominal 4/4 it was extremely difficult finishing the stock up to 3/4" but after getting one clear side, I took a skim cut on the opposite face and used my Domino 500 to join the boards together referenced off the good face which minimized the amount of material removal to get a flat top. I used my ETS 150/3 worked from 100 to 320 grit. The finish is super blonde shellac which I mixed very thin ~.5# cut with alcohol for two coats wiped on and used 4/0 steel wool to flatted out the nips. I then used General Finishes Arm-R-Seal Oil & Urethane Varnish Semi-Gloss thinned 25% for the first coat wiped on with soft cotton cloth. Followed with a second coat thinned 10% and a topcoat at full strength. The base is a leg and apron made from Indonesian Rosewood which I constructed with my Domino XL700 and finished with shellac. I'll post the final assembly pictures after the top hardens for a while.
