Old wooden table got damaged by rainwater — salvageable ?

hey there, title pretty much explains it but I have a wood table that someone very special to me once sealed for me as a gift when I moved away. They died last year and the table feels something like an important memento. They even wrote a note to me on the bottom! Unfortunately my new place doesn’t have a dining room so it’s been outside in LA and the recent rainy season seems to have broken down the sealant and started to corrode the underlying wood. I guess my question is — is this thing save able or should I cut my losses and try to salvage the half that isn’t as grayed. thanks! submitted by /u/cheddarwilly [link] [comments]
