Romoving stain from oak veneer table top. How?

Dinarius · 2008-03-02 13:18:14

Someone (not me!) left a plant sitting on an oak veneer table top. They didn't put a water tray under the plant pot. Now, there is a circular stain left by the water seeping through the earth in the plant. The stain is dark, almost black, in colour. The oak veneer is mid-brown in colour. Sanding really isn't an option…

Sanding really isn't an option since the stain looks quite deep and the veneer is only 3mm.

What are my options?

If I was to colour that area to match the surrounding wood, what would I use? (Presumably, any wood stain wouldn't work because it's clear/translucent. Right?)

Many thanks.

I think there was a product that helped with that, could not find it but came up with the above page.
