This Stain On My Table Looks Like A Dog Passionately Taking In A Sweet Smell
Its that deep woodsy smell of ... hickory smoked bacon. -- All dogs love it.
There's a difference between "rustic" and "trashed". I'm inclined to think this is the latter.

Or you could use a saw or something and remove it, shape the outer edges, maybe spray it with a coat of clear sealer and hang it as is. And ignore all the rude comments. They don't know jack**** anyways! : )

It looks like a foot stool, and people don't normally p**s on foot stools. Healthy people (in general) don't normally p**s themselves at all. But accidents have been known to happen. Especially as you get older. I think the pic is pretty cool. Ignore the haters.
