<p>[QUOTE=&quot;annea, post: 1567298, member: 2190&quot;]Thank you everyone for the kind comments on the stand.&nbsp; I ended up sanding it down by hand (150 to 400 grit paper) and then using an orbital sander on the top only, to try and remove all of the water rings = a dozen or so.&nbsp; Still a couple of faint ones showing a bit.&nbsp; I then coated it with 5 coats of thinned down amber shellac, sanding with 400 grit paper between last 3 layers and added a little dry wood dye = venetian red to the last 3 layers also.&nbsp; Final light buff with dry 0000 steel wool to dull down the shiny shellac look, and then wiped with tacky cloth to remove the little bit of dust and steel wool fragments.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>We have three other antique table stands that we use around the house and this one is&nbsp; pretty huge looking compared to all of them.&nbsp; About 1/3 bigger yet I would say. I have not seen any others this big in looking at other ones over the past few years at antique places.&nbsp; Would it have had any slightly different use I wonder with the size of it?&nbsp;&nbsp; I do like all the table top space, and big deep drawer of it, in being this large though.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
