Today I learned that (non lit) incense sticks should not be laid down (for extended periods of time, i.e. 3 days) on wooden furniture. The result of such activity will be something like this:

Yeah, it screwed up the finish on the table. That's permanent. Which is not too too too bad, because I think things like these add character to furniture (just like Pellet's scratches on the coffee table). But I wanted to share it with the world just in case someone decides to lay incense sticks on furniture where additions are not welcomed.
