Hi, all. :) I have a large oil stain in the middle of an unfinished cherry wood coffee table and I'm wondering how to get it out. My husband stored a new weed-wacker on top of the coffeetable for about 10 years (the table has been in the basement for about 15 yrs.) The small vial of oil that came with the weedwacker leaked out onto the coffee table top.
I have hopes of putting the table back together (I had it professionally stripped before storage) and I'd like to have it for my new living room. But now I have no idea of what to do about that oil stain. The oil is the type used for lubricating the weedwacker; it's a clear oil, and not car oil.
Should I sand it out? Should I add more oil to the rest of the table top to match? Or can I use a paint stripper to remove the oil - again, this is unfinished wood the oil is on? I hate to have it professionally stripped _again_ just to remove the oil stain. Any help from this group would be very much appreciated. TIA. :)
