I made this little tray that has a little piece of scrap wood on the bottom to be able to slide between the couch cushions and the littlest screws I could get poked through just a bit so I buzzed em off and it left some gashes so I put wood filler on and spread it to level w my old college id/ sanded it smooth. I just wondering if I stain it is this spot going to show? Or should I just paint the bottom a cool color and stain the rest. I’m trying to go darker like old American, like our floors. I was thinking yellow if that’s the option
