My son is in BIG trouble!

I contacted Thomas. He said he doesn't think there is a way to repair the spots - it needs the entire top refinished. He said his brother could do this but would need to ship the top to him. Like we were thinking he suggested to contact the store and manufacturer to see if they could help.

So we're back to "seems like a good excuse opportunity to buy an (insert sander model) and refinish the top!" ;-)

Swings and roundabouts!

Glad that he responded to you. In my last two inquiries (one about a tool seen used in one of his vids), he sent me his opinions rather quickly like I was his customer!

His bro, Greg, had worked with Wendell Castle for many years: https://www.jfrestoration.com/about-us

Both he and Tom have their daughters working in the business/related business (picture framing). And I like how Greg includes other associates on his introduction page, acknowledging their skills and contributions.

Festool doesn't need better marketing; it just needs more "ambassadors" like you to encourage people to spend on Festool!

“The whole thing”? You don’t think he can get by with just refinishing the top surface? The top of a table gets more light, and even if it was all original, the top would look slightly different from the legs and skirts.

I would try just the top. It is a lot of area, but it will sand fast and it is easy to finish horizontal surfaces. Horizontal surfaces get more abuse and I always add additional coats for that reason.

I should have been more specific. The whole top.
