Slowly progressing a table made out of some 60+yo heart Rimu that I found in the basement of our house after we bought it:

I've just finished my jewelry boxes.

Legs are on the table and second coat of oil just on.
With the crossed legs it is very stable and stiff across but wobbles a little but of pushed along it's long axis so could use a couple of diagonal braces underneath. The simplest would be some 520mm steel braces with 45 degree tabs that would run from the centre of the x to the underside of the table. Can't find such a thing in pre-fabricated form - is there such a thing?
Otherwise I could cut and bend and paint black something from this:

It claims to be suitable for tension and compression bracing.
I have plenty if left over timber but just a pain of a job to measure, cut and install with a nice finish.
Any better suggestions?
