Possible warping on this style of tabletop?

I have a peice of furniture I made awhile ago in school things didnt turn out the best so im repurposing it and turning it into a low coffee table. The only problem is the pannels from the peice are 18 wide were the lenght is shorter than the width. The way it was build it could pull that off but in a coffee table if I made the pannel 2ft wide and 18 long could the fact that its made 6 boards cause the pannel to bow or cup significantly? Would alternating the grain direction of the parts of the tabletop mitigate this or is this just a bad idea.

Apple?

I was given this cookie but friend didn’t know what it was either. Fairly heavy for the size, seems harder than cherry, big leaf or walnut from my normal woods I use often. When sprayed it has more of a reddish hew to the wood. Splits make me think of apple but I may be way off too. In Washington state but cookie could have came from elsewhere originally, no idea. Any thoughts? And thank you!

In the process of stripping this 100 year old door. I would like to stain and clear coat it. Anyone know if this could be Douglas fir, and what kind of finish it should have?

There is a storm door to help protect it, and it gets a few hours of sun a day
