water damaged bathroom vanity advice

Hello!

Have recently purchased a house which we love, the only thing that desperately needs addressing is that the bathroom vanity is wooden and has areas around the sink which are rotten/water damaged. Please see pictures, most is fairly superficial but there are areas which look like they extend fairly deeply.

 

The way I see it there are a couple of options:

 

1. Sand down the wood, apply oxalic acid, cut out the deeper parts and replace with wood putty and then revarnish... But not sure if it is too far gone?

 

2. Replace the wood and sink entirely

 

3. Replace the vanity entirely

 

We have little to no DIY experience/skills and would prefer to avoid the second two options... But not sure if the first option is feasible? Any advice would be appreciated!
