I'm guessing this is the result of layers of slathering a fresh layer of finish on these tables. To be honest, I kind of like the look. Any idea what type of finish this might be?
Here's a slightly different angle:

Yeah, the lighter areas are where it has come up and been reapplied. Linseed oil gets darker with age, but I think the really dark areas are from a mold or mildew. I’ve only seen that in places with a lot of moisture year round.
We're in SE MI, so I wouldn't call it particularly moist but it's not super dry either. The weather out here is very similar to what I experienced in New England
Edit: based on surface wear and looking at these things for years now, it's been a few years since the last time they were refinished and there's no flaking.
