The other thread is getting so long that it's getting hard to upload it.
My Bitossi/Nelson/Meridian clock arrived today. Here's a snap.
Also, I took a snap of an area rug that I took out of storage and shampooed. It even looks nice on my oatmeal carpet and if I ever get a sofa, it'll go on it.

It is just veneer i would leave it alone as any heavy sanding it could hurt it, I have had no luck getting rings out
I might still have a extra one in the shop that I took off my table, I will look and see the condition it is in, If it is still good I will send it to you, if you want it ,
here is mine with the new marble I think it looks great Knoll sells it for over 2000. I bought the table at a estate sale for 20.00 and 100. for the marble top
barry
solid wood no problem sand paper and steel wool will clean it up like show room finish, do not be afraid to get after it cause some of those water rings are tough as hell to get out,
I could not get one ring out of my arne Jacobsen teak wood table, their to stay for ever,
go with the grain only,
you will be amazed how nice it will clean up
put wood workers wax on it when you finish,
you can use stain to get any color you want,
I did that on one of those tables that was solid wood and it looks great,
Any reason
not to strip the finish off ? I would think that's the way to get most if not all of the rings out -- and just sanding the present finish will likely rub through to bare wood anyway, in spots (you mentioned raised areas, probably water-related) which will make getting an even and consistent finish impossible -- won't it ?
Strip, sand with the grain as necessary, and refinish -- that's the standard procedure. A cabinet shop with a widebelt sanding machine could take any amount of wood off until stains are gone.
Merry Christmas ! SDR
Maybe
Did they ever ever make these tables with a flat chrome leg base, or even chrome X style legs?
----------------------------------
Perhaps....Flo made scads of really cool tables for all sorts of installations, and they were mostly put into regular production.
I strongly suggest you buy the wonderful Knoll book from Schiffer...expensive, but it has everything and the photographs are really nifty.
Hokey smoke....

Honkey smoke, LRF....do you mean a marble top? a wood top?
Either way, I'd be thrilled....just let me know what you want for it....and how much the shipping would be.
Or...feel free to email me directly (barrymn1@msn.com)
Thanx in advance.

barry - I'd try using Howard Restor-a-finish polish (neutral color) and some super fine steel wool before refinishing. I've had good luck with removing rings and every other mar known to man with that combo. If they're too deep, you're only set back $7
