Ash frame with a Mahogany veneer top. Paint the frame and stain the top.

There's that v word again.

I'm really showing what I don't know but now that you mention it, that ebony border may well have been painted previously. The finish on the whole piece was so thick...I just don't know. There IS an ebony colored stain so I ASSumed the whole thing was stained.

It's probably a good thing it's raining and I've been too busy to jump in and start putting color on this thing. I want spectacular results, dammit.

All kinds of choices (including beautiful, deep browns) for painting the border.
