Today I attacked the top plate, sanding and levelling and sanding and sanding etc.etc.

Poor old Tasmanian Oak is a bit plain looking like my old girl-friend "Jane" who's real name was Amanda, but we all called her Jane for obvious reasons

So I mixed up some shellac and smothered the board in the bright red shellac and let her dry for 5 minutes or so (32C here today) and then sanded it back leaving the red grain only, not spectacular but a bit more interesting than before or befive.
