Sand project very evenly with 120 grit, certainly not more than 150. Pigmented stains will not work very well if there's no place to "settle in" which happens if you've sanded with too fine a grit. It is likely that you have sanded down into the lower layer of veneer which is saturated with glue. No way that's going soak up any stain. It could also be due to the previous finishes and/or polishes, waxes, strippers, etc, which have soaked into the wood. It is rare for stripped woods to stain nicely. If you use gel stains or tinted topcoats (like the Minwax polyshades) you'll have better luck.

Hello. It might be best to consider painting a table top.
Easier than stenciling a rub on transfer might be suggested.

Since it won't take stain, try a stain colored paint.
