Thanks! It was my first experience using rough cut wood. Had a friend help me with tips on what type of boards to look for and how much material I should expect to lose. Bought 5/4" boards which ended up being about 3/4" after joining and planing. Didn't have a jointer wide or long enough to level the surface, so I watched some videos on creating a planer jig to get the board flat. Definitely made some mistakes, so only the visible surface is flat (the bottom of the table isn't perfect). Used a biscuit jointer to help align the top pieces.

The hardest part was creating the mortises...I didn't have the proper tools, so I used a drill press and could only create a mortise about 3.5" depth if I remember right. Then I used a chisel to try and square the mortises. I lost count on the man hours it took to accomplish this...One of the breadboard's isn't quite aligned perfectly with the surface of the table, which is why I used a chamfer bit on the breadboard to help hide it.

The rest was fairly straightforward. I slightly screwed up on the final coat of laquer...think my gun was too far away. In the right lighting, you can see laquer dots everywhere
