Table looks great. Job well done. Look at all the turkeys you can enjoy on the big slab.

when Im all done, I have a few minor projects to work on, then Ill work on another leaf in case someone has room to extend it that far.
I suggest you do the second leaf at this time, so the finish is identical, the sheen matches, etc.
For a film finish (like lacquer or varnish) I sand to 150 or so, but for an oil finish I sand to 320-400 or finer. I don't know what you need with oil under poly (if that is still your plan)
Looks great from here Allen. The glare is just enough to show how smooth of a sanding job that you did, and I like it.

...not sure if theres much more interest here on this project, but Ill post my progress up until now...
just ticks me off, many, many bad words.
I always clean up the shop before I use any type of finish. I blow out everything, lighting fixtures, anything hanging, let all the dust settle, then vacuum up.
after the second coat went on today, I didn't push the table far enough into the garage, all of the sudden when I hit the button to close the overhead door, dust from the track spilled down onto the wet table.
carefully, I used a lightly wetted mineral spirits brush to get off as much as I could, looked clean, the rest Ill have to do with sanding when it dries.
just really ticked me off.
