Help!
I am an amateur by all means when it comes to woodworking and finishing.
Well... I have a really beautiful solid sheesham table (Indian rosewood) that has water damage from me stupidly leaving the windows open one night when it rained.
It's odd because we've had water standing on the table before and it did nothing, and rosewood to my understanding is very water resistant.
But... Here are some pictures. I am basically looking for suggestions on how to perhaps repair the table, or at least ensure it gets no worse.
I am afraid to sand it/plane it because I know I probably won't be able to re-create the finish that came on it from the factory. It is only a few months old.
Also, in the same area there is water damage you will see several small knicks where my wife dropped a candle on the table. Those don't really bother me, but if I am going to be doing anything in that general vicinity I may as well fix those too right?
All suggestions are welcomed!
Thank you!
