I do not think I sanded vertically and the finish is
smooth to touch.


Pull the leaves apart and give us a picture or two of the EDGE of the apron
and of its back. Don't worry about getting really close, sharpness counts
for more.

No point -- that picture is perfect. Look at the RH section--besides
the previous ability to see the vertical grain in the substrate in the
middle section from the end to the right a couple inches that tapers
from nearly the full width to a rounded end at the right as the
thickness gradually increases to obscure it, there are two other clear
indications--

a) in the decorative saw kerf it's very apparent that is _not_ grain in
the horizontal direction but that of the ply substrate (looks pretty
much like luan or similar), and

b) there's a small missing roughly triangular section at the corner
which shows the edge of the veneer where the corner broke and the
vertically oriented grain of the substrate beneath.
