I am making a pair of dipole speakers using two panels of Purpleheart. It is beautiful dense wood but the planks (13"x 48"x 7/8" thick) are still rough. I need to either sand them extensively myself or have them dressed at a woodworking shop. I've never worked with rough cut boards before so I'm not sure how best to proceed?

I also wondered if any one would have advise on a good finish for Purpleheart. Thanks
