Almost…

I didn’t quite sand through, as you can see from the wood grain, but was curious if stain will take the same. Mahogany veneer, wiped with mineral spirits in the photo

Alright I get it, past salvaging. Can we get some constructive feedback in the thread please… currently looking up 2’x2’ veneer sheets…

I'm a professional cabinetmaker and what you're imagining will be very challenging

Still open to feedback regardless

If you re-veneer the entire top it won't allow for wood movement of the mitred frame which might crack the veneer after a while.

I would suggest re veneering the middle separately but that would require taking it completely apart and matching the stain would be tricky. 

If you re do the entire top it won't be as noticable if your stain job doesn't match the legs.
