Here are the pieces i milled up for the top. I tried to go light on the jointer/planar because i need the top to be as thick as possible. I think I ended up with all pieces being 7/8”.

Beautiful planks, very interesting grain pattern in them.
The center board looks as if it has some quilting in it?

Yes, some of the boards have a little figure… wouldn’t call it quilted but it does add a bit of interest. Being that it’s a bookcase, the top won’t actually be the “show piece” but the chatoyance would be a nice surprise for those who do look for it. :)
Here are some images of the planks with and without a splash of mineral spirits to highlight the figure.
Natural wood
With a little mineral spirits applied (and then a little denatured alcohol since i ran out of MS).
I plan to tint the sap wood with Trans-tint and then bulk tint before finishing.
