Mine is 3 flute and nowhere near that quality. I had a 4 flute but they were terribly uneven. It left a horrible finish. I'm working on converting an old optical torch table for the router. It's wicked smooth and 5'x5'.

I need to build a proper sled, mine works fine if I take the time to monkey with making sure everything is level on the front end. I have two heavy 1/4" aluminum Z-bars from the back of a highway sign that I use for the side rails, they work great but my sled needs an upgrade, if I do this more I'll build a bigger metal one.

This is maybe 7 out of 10. It works but pretty limited to width. Like you I'm using a couple aluminum pieces of 3" channel for rails. Setup isn't to bad but I want to go about 42" wide for dining table slabs.

And the "finished" (still have to trim the tops of the 4x4s obviously and I'm still deciding on whether or not I want to paint it white) product:

I hate to throw away scraps of wood, but I make way too many of them. I had to purge a bit when I started working on cleaning out the garage. But I got a little bit of a pay off when I recently came up with an idea for a couple of hat hangers.
Out to the scarps I go, pick out a scrap of 1x12 pine and mark up some shapes to cut out and sand.
Using dowels and glue for connections and tung oil for finish, I had these on the wall the next day.
The hat on the right was my Father in Law's. We use it for when the kids make a snowman. The one on the left is my grass hat I wear when I am cutting the lawn.
One less scrap of wood on the shelf.

I figured the grass hat was for doobies.

Finished another batch. If you look closely at the second picture, you’ll see a tag and fly from a fish the gentleman’s mom caught on a visit out here this spring.

That's beautiful. How did you finish it?

I go to an opening deer season dinner at one of the ranches up here every year. It's the same place I posted the pictures of it being destroyed by pigs. I made them a new sign for the cabin that was rebuilt. The cabin dated back to 1939 when the family first bought the property. The wood is from an oak tree that was killed in our fire from 2020

I finally got around to making a mount board for the Black Hawaiian Ram Euro mount from my hunt on the Big Island in June.
I bought a piece of Ohia wood in Kona. It is a flowering tree native to Hawaii and they were growing all around the area I hunted.
It was already a board, so I just had to do some shaping and sanding. I wood burned the Hawaiian island chain at the bottom, but it doesn't show up real well through the shine from the finish.
You can see the islands better in this picture. I added a pin with he Ohia flower that I bought at Hawaii Volcanoes National Park. Also I added the turkey feather that my guide found near where I shot my ram.
I still need to make a mounting board for the buck I shot in November. I might start work on that this weekend.

I can imagine there was more culls than useable. Kinda cool though
