I managed to get a start on my dining table today. The top will be made of 2 bookmatched figured cherry planks, each ~22" wide. I ripped each to allow planing (they had about 3/8" of cup), then jointed and planed them. I put some mineral spirits on just to see what I had - I was delighted!

I will not be able to get rid of all the sap wood, so I will have to feature it on the outside edges.

looks good so far, can't wait to see the end result.
That is one serious chunk of cherry.
Can't wait to see the final.

Hans, I assume those are flitch cut - they are gorgeous! This table is going to be a great addition to the chairs. I assume that is the intent?
That is going to be one sweet top Hans.
Looking forward to seeing the progress and the finished product.
Hans --
I'm like you, prefer to usually cut the sapwood out......BUT......
this case I think you've got a winner of a TOP! It's going to add some beautiful accents -- nicely done!
