Did you finish the boards yourself?
I made a mistake and got a surface planer instead of a jointer, and I haven't gotten around to making a jointer Jig, so my woodworking has been on hold.
Yes I got some high-quality walnut plywood and some solid walnut too. My finish is 3 coats of wipe-on poly cut with a little mineral spirits, then 3-4 coats of paste wax. Extra wax on top.
Ultimately, you need both for good power-tool lumber processing, and the surface planer can at least accommodate a jig for face jointing. Get a good blade and you can make a table saw jig that can stand in for edge-jointing, especially if you also have a decent hand plane.
