It was the proverbial plant stand in its former life and subsequently the finish was peeling in the familiar round shape. I think that likely a philodendron was sitting on this table.
I sanded the top and was contemplating refinishing the whole thing when common sense took hold. I have enough to do. I was worried that the colors would be off. When I sanded it, there was a light yellow stain underneath the finish. Some of it remains in the grain of the OAK veneer. Time is of the essence, however. We have company coming in a few weeks and I want this to go into the apartment. Oh, I must also mention that Steven is tired of me taking over his shop.
