That's a gorgeous table. You did an excellent job.
Making the top out of only two boards and book matched no less.
It doesn't get any better than that!

I love it!  It’s a piece of art!  I am starting to mill my walnut to get an idea of grain patterns.  I got a very good deal on walnut.  My ruff cut was about 1 1/8 thick.  By the time I get to the finished thickness I am afraid I’ll end up with ¾.  I’m concerned it will be too thin to stay flat like yours.  I’ve never worked with walnut or glued up that wide of surface of 48”.  I have the option of veneer but the wife would like solid. I would love to do it like yours.

Could you tell us the finishing process used?

I used Waterlox with sanding with 600 grit between coats. Then rubbed it out with 0000 steel wool and wax.

There are two theories to arguing with a woman... neither works.
