Did you finish the boards yourself?

I made a mistake and got a surface planer instead of a jointer, and I haven't gotten around to making a jointer Jig, so my woodworking has been on hold.

Yes I got some high-quality walnut plywood and some solid walnut too. My finish is 3 coats of wipe-on poly cut with a little mineral spirits, then 3-4 coats of paste wax. Extra wax on top.
