Any suggestions on grit? I want to sand it down but not have it be too fine that it won't accept the finish.

Super close up of non-sanded grain, this is just the texture after being cut.

Close-up, with some nice crack :)

It is not full of knots; in fact, there are barely any. Haven't heard that almond is full of those. I have heard, however, that it likes to crack, and this piece does have a small crack in it that I'll fill in. As you can see, the piece doesn't really need to be shaped anymore - just sanded...

I'm pretty new to this, but I have a nice almond wood slab that I'm turning into a coffee table. Sorry if this is a bit off topic, but I basically want to achieve a nice, penetrative, high gloss finish on the table (it's a live edge slab) that wouldn't be dissimilar from a hardwood floor...
