Yeah, the patina is part of their charm. Sanding them would remove far to much material. The surface is like a brittle porous sponge at this point.
I think at the very least we should probably try to seal the bases to prevent additional rot. (Epoxy or filler?)

Maybe we will test some areas on the back side with some spar urethane and see what happens.
