Glad to see you’re enjoying woodworking, this table looks nice but you need to attach your top differently, like many new woodworkers your top does not allow for wood movement this can cause your top to crack
Here’s some information about wood movement.

Thank you for positive feedback. A1jim thank you very much for pointing that out I will buy some figure 8 fasteners and change it asap.
Nice work, like the straight lines.

Nice job. Welcome to Woodworking. Please take the advice about wood movement into consideration for all woodworking projects. When finishing experiment with some dyes before you polyurethane it especially with oak it will balance out the colors.
beautiful table anyway I’m sure you’ll get many many years of pleasure out of it.
