well theres some kind of clearcoat woodfiller that was under all the paint, its the same grain so its not a veneer, but im stuck on whether i should try sanding it all the way through it and risk digging wavy dips and shit into the wood. its a bitch trying to smooth it out and i always end up taking off way to much. im not sure how its going to take stain as it stands right now, i might end up just painting it instead
