<p>[QUOTE=&quot;verybrad, post: 2618231, member: 37&quot;]Think the black &quot;stain&quot; is old discolored varnish.&nbsp; Sanding will remove it but I don&#039;t recommend sanding antiques unless absolutely necessary.&nbsp; You lose the patina of old wood in the process and the piece will look new.&nbsp;&nbsp; Stripping will remove it but some of the dark color will end up actually staining the wood.&nbsp; I don&#039;t think this is necessarily a bad thing.&nbsp; Once stripped, you can even out the color with a wood stain if necessary.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
