Had a crystal vase, similar to the one shown here. Somehow the one-inch thick base cracked. I couldn't even see the crack, but the water kept showing up.
Anyway, it left a nasty mark on the teakwood. Anybody have an idea how to get rid of it? I've had this table/chair set for almost 30 years. [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]
I know what'll fix it but you ain't gonna like it. I don't think anything short of sanding that is going to work. I'm sure that's not what you wanted to hear. Sorry.
Be sure and ask Serious Eric as he is our resident 'woodman of the world'.
I'm pretty sure carpenter eric is gonna tell you to sand the whole table top down and re-stain it.
I just looked at it and shook my head. I have NO idea how deeply you'll have to sand to take that out. New vase. Glue it down on top of the water spot. Tell everybody it's really fucking heavy.
Don't mind Paul, he's just bitter... he never got over when Latin took over from Heiroglyphics and he had to buy a new dictionary. It was almost as bad as the time he had to upgrade from a sundial or the time the battery in his abacus broke.

I had something similar happen to my teak desk (that is now at least 40 years old - my parents bought it for me before high school). I sanded it until I could see the veneer was getting paper thin. The stain had gone all the way through. I assume the same happened to this table.
I was hoping that, now, there was some kind of bleaching or stain leaching procedure that could renew it.

I don't know why but I thought it was real funny.
Glue some other $hit too make it more interesting and watch your guests try to move $hit around.
Well Goddammit it was supposed to be funny! Thank you. [img]/images/graemlins/supergrin.gif[/img]
CAP - VENEER!!?? Go fling your sorry ass offa your low balcony! Then do it again and again ... until you can't anymore. And try to land on some fucking Venice Beach hippies along the way while you're killing yourself.
Jesus CHRIST! He asks a wood working question about VENEER? My contempt towers above remster's disdain for America. Dude, don't even bother sanding it if it's not real wood. Get an axe. Have a beach cookout.
CAP, don'tcha just hate a purist! [img]/images/graemlins/laughing.gif[/img]
