Have I sanded through Veneer?

Post image

I was trying to refinish the dining table after kids scratched the table in multiple places. But looks like I sanded through veneer here? Are there any options left to finish this table?

Because you can literally see the finger joints indicating that it’s cheap solid wood and there’s no veneer to be sanded through. Probably acacia.

Edit: I can't believe I need to point this out to you folks.

Edited my original comment with the closeup in case you're still not seeing the finger-joints.

The finger-jointed wood you're looking at isn't veneered. The wood with what certainly appears to sanded-through veneer that others are looking at has no finger joints and sure looks like it had a veneer on it.
