Interesting incorporating the sapwood as a focal point in the top. Those laminated legs look like they where a challenge to make. Considering you had two interior pieces that are not exposed did you consider using a less expensive species to fill them out. Also a little more detail on how you did the breadboard ends on the top would be appreciated. They can be a bit tricky to do when accounting for the changes in humidity and wood movement.

I had a limited number of slabs to work with so I had to use the the outer slab in the design, hence the sap wood focal point. Most importantly, the customer loved it. The glued up legs were a little more work but I was able to use the 5/4" slabs for the legs. I tried to use up the pieces with a lot sap wood for the internal pieces of the legs since they wouldn't be seen. Here are a few images of the breadboard ends before glue up.

Beautiful table all around - the wood, the location of the sap wood & wood placement, the craftsmenship, the design of the table, and the finish. Very nice work.

Great looking table. I remember cutting off all the sap wood in the past., working with the rest. Things have changed. Impressive build.

A beautiful table and it looks nice in the room. I like seeing the hand tools for the mortising. Air dried walnut works great with hand tools. Enjoy!
