Came here to say the same thing. I've used a local lumber-yard/millwork shop to do the same in the past.. As I recall it wasn't "cheap" - something like a $60/hr for their time on their wide-belt sander but in the end I had a 3' wide by 5' long table-top sanded perfectly flat with what amounted to no effort on my part other than hauling the thing to them and back. was well worth it
