When I purchased my new band saw table last year it arrived with a
beautiful steel table.

Now it has stained due to the processing of green wood for turning.
It is not etched, just stained, mostly by green maple.

I tried mineral spirits and steel wool with limited success.

What about very fine emery cloth and oil?

Anybody have any suggestions?


Do you want it to look pretty or work?

Empire used to make a product that would restore the finish with little
effort.
