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:

    Would that produce the black splotches? Would they peel easily? I also like the look, but if parts of it are indicative of bad adhesion… ehhh…

      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.
