Help! Any easy way to fix this?

tried to wipe off this weird stain and now I caused the wood finish to come off like an idiot. This is an old nice wood dresser from the 90s. And now I am soooo sad. A friend says to put tonge oil on it?? Is there any way to add a little bit of stain to it to fix this?

I built this!!

This is my biggest build so far.
Delivered it in two parts. Client sent me pics after they filled it up.

Cat hangout section at the bottom and then lots of storage above. I am told the cats very much approve!

Finished the bathroom storage

Built to a customers request. It was a fun one. And I often enjoy a two-tone style.
I used AI to help see what it look like staged)

Botch Router Did the Trick with a DIY Jig

I didn't do the best job since I used the wrong bit and didn't have the right board as an edge guide *faceplam*. With this jig that I got from YASUHIRO TV, it really did the trick when comes to using the router. It was smooth using. Look forward in the future.

Bowing Desktop

I bought a desktop overseas and after shipping it back stateside and having it in storage, it is bowing. My thought is to add 3 c-channels in 1/2” by 28” with short threaded inserts. First pic is the underside of the desk and the second shows it bowing.

My ask is if this is the best idea or is there a better way to prevent the desktop from bowing?

Any ideas would be appreciated.

Stain won’t go

I have sanded 60 grit a ton. Oxalic acid x4. Washed it off with these pics. Solid Oak table. The 2 stripes won’t go.

Finding plans?

I’m looking for diy woodworking plans. I get tons of ads and I’m wondering if any of them are legit. I using Etsy for some but I’m curious if any of the ads or even apps are legit.

I found a shit load of old ass rough cut boards in the chicken coop of the old ass house we just moved into. This is before and after planing it out on my brand new thickness planer!

Customer sent me their finished look!

I made them a 5ft bench and two 3.5ft raised beds. They finally got to put flowers in, and sent me the finished look. I love it!
