I've just refinished what I thought was a cherry table. The top has two
14"
pieces with typical cherry looking colors, only it has a 6" green looking
band running through it. The legs,after sanding revealed this same green
color. Is this typical of old cherry, table is around 60 or more years
old.
Thanks for info.

Sometimes the sapwood is dyed to match the rest of hte heart wood.
Refinishing it may have taken that off. You can post a photo to
