First coat goes down fine and then second coat just makes to first craize...
I only want to sand this thing one more time... Any tips...?

Ask the supply house for different solvent flash points use the slowest possible. That could mean actually introducing paint thinner into the equation. If the "lacquer" is not a true lacquer, you can try half thinner half paint thinner.
Short answer
Too much product too short of time.
The piece is beautiful. Simple elegance will out shadow artificial artsiness every time.

Seriously - why not an oil finish, rubbed in by hand?

Was just going to polish Tung oil in, but as it is a dark timber anyway, I wanted to minimise the darkening.
I may try a sanding sealer under it... Have used Miratone on Redgum before with no hassles.
I was wondering at the cold but have had heaters on... I'm working on the bike now so will paint a patch each day to see if it is curing time. (the glue took almost 3 times as long to set when I laminated it together... Old hard wood?)

It turns out I needed to leave twice the time between coats as recommended... It was the same with the glue

There is a certain feeling of pride or a feeling of accomplishment when I and others sit at a table I have built. My dad made a table that we all ate at as a children. I and five sisters and one brother plus mom and dad sat around a very similar shaped table. It was no where near the fine grade that yours is but still me and my brother did most of the work. Creating is much more joyous than say sitting around a table. Don't linga around resting on your Laurels or Jarrah for that matter

Sanded in between all and hand sanded with the grain down to 1200 grit before paint.
I made it a little taller as I think furniture has shrunk lately.... Now I need chairs!!
I always like making things, even if they are not as good as the real thing

you want some tooth/roughness for finish adhesion. just use a grit so you dont see any scratches in the wood surface, and spend your finessing on applying and rubbing out the finish.
