Don’t worry about being slow, slow is good.. Take your time enjoy the process.. I bet Paul would even tell you he is still learning. Once we stop learning then we should probably quit. It’s the process so enjoy it. Have fun with your mistakes, live the life of a woodworker, enjoy it. Yes you’ll get frustrated, but sit down and enjoy life. This is suppose to be fun, we have no time line unless you are a professional woodworker and have a timeline for a customer. So relax, I wouldn’t even set up a timeline for the project. It’s more important to concentrate on each phase of the project. I’m a beginner and I really have no problems with my slow pace. I’m enjoying the process, I’m enjoying the results. I’m enjoying the smiles of the people I have built these projects for. That is truly what woodworking is, the process, the skills and the end smiles.

I know this doesn’t help you with this particular piece, just something to keep in mind for future laminated tops.
As for this piece you have.. you can always plane it just on the joints, maybe cross grain at first and as a another poster has suggested with a sharp plane set at a minimum. -
