I've got a bunch of that was well only thing is I'd have to built up a router sled to get one side good to plane. Not a huge deal we'll see.Just spitballin here...but some black walnut would look nice to edge it. This based off some of the darker wood grain in some of the planks.
This is cherry on quarter sawn oak. Its a nice subtle contrast, not drasticplan to glue to the oak plywood that it is sitting on. then a coat of clear epoxy to fill in knots, worm trails, etc but then same back to wood and do a traditional paste wax finish.
not sure on edgework, have some rough sawn cherry out there as well as old school oak.
need to reset to ensure good staggering of joints i think i'll number each piece then i can reassemble in correct order.

He's letting me build in his empty house (was moms she passed about 10 years ago) so i can just pop over and work as i wish so that is nice.
Make a sled for the planer. Place board cup side up. Level and shim all edges to make it solid, then run through planer (thin passes). Once that side is flat you can run the other side through normallyActually just hit me I can screw the walnut to a 2x pine from the store to get first side flat usune the planer. Can't believe I've not thought of that. I've done to get a strait edge on table saw...
