The topic is Rosewood.

We have the opposite problem facing us.  (Compared to Mark

Bausman in the Accidental Sanding thread.)

A turn of century hand crafted solid rosewood table.  The 4" wide

lumber frame around the 60" lumber center panel has maybe 8
sectional joints. Each joint appears almost white under whatever

finish is left, almost as if someone somewhere sometime smeared

glue or putty into the butt joints.
Any idea?
