I turned it over to my dad, He used a scraper to flatten out the grain, then used a bunch of tricks to get it really smooth, followed by oil for color and then polished beeswax. It looks like furniture again. Don't quote me on the process, but I am really happy with the result. I can get specifics if you like, the finish really suits the style of furniture. I want this one to be living room quality.

I'm more an electronics guy than a furniture guy. My big victory so far is its my first cataract removal.
