I have a dining table where the table top has become stained and sanding hasn't cured this problem.
So one solution would be to turn the top over and use the underside. But the pedestal was screwed to the underside, leaving several screw holes.
The top is solid elm and there are no plugs or dowels in elm. Perhaps the closest wood is ash.
What would be the solution here?
I will have to drill out the holes, anyway, to take 6mm ash dowels, but these will be end grain plugs.
Or I drill out to either 8mm or 10mm and use oak or ash flat grain plugs.
I will be sanding back the underside to remove the lacquer....
