His guys,

I am attempting (pics below / attached) on a pair of mid-century modern teak venner "
reliance furniture" bedside table and I am after some advice re process and products.

As the veneer is very thin I plan to light sand 240 grade sand paper or fine steel wool. I figure I don't need to use stripper.
I will need patch or replace the damaged veneer.

I am then no sure what products to use to finish it..
Do I use an oil or stain? I am looking to keep the original look as much as possible. Its also worth noting one of the bedside tables has faded slightly due to the sun.513916513917513918513919513920513921513916513917513918513919513920513921513916513917513918513919513920513921
Should I put a coating to protect against water ring marks?
How do I colour the veneer to match as best I can?


As I said this is my first project so any advice would be welcome and suggestion of best products to use.
