Hello

My best friends were married at the Magnolia plantation outside Charleston south Carolina last summer. They just bought a house and my wife asked since i started making live edge dinner/Coffee tables for a hobby in the past 2 years could i make a magnolia table for them that would be unique and last a long time. I luckily found some 10' long over 25" wide bookend pieces at a friends lumber mill that is 2" thick plus. so I am gonna make a dinner table and coffee table for them. My question is when i look online there are tons of walnut and maple tables available but not much except some shelving pieces available in magnolia. I know it is a hardwood but is there a reason not to work with it or is it just hard to get pieces that are straight and of that length/width and thickness

thank you for any insight
