Agrams or any other wood experts. Any ideas on the most effect way to remove this stain?

Sand it out & restain

Yeah, not doing that. It's a restoration hardware table.

Sounds like the place you bought it from are experts in furniture restoration, I'd call them

I saw Andy dalton in the restoration hardware in Houston and knew I was in a store outside my tax bracket. Was confirmed when I saw an upholstered couch on sale for $11k

We had a similar issue with one of our RH tables (sunscreen vs. alcohol). They sent us a kit to fix it, which sorta worked you can still notice the circle where the sunbum was. Go online and see if they offer a repair kit for your finish or call the store where you bought it, they should be able to help.

Thanks!

Pour the same alcohol on the rest of the table, profit?

You have the beginnings of a white tail or elk, expand it out and make it a wild life scene.

Why not….let. It ride? Let it be a story.

It's not "coming out". You sand and restain it all.

Personally, I'd leave it. Let it own it's character. My nice dining room table has fork marks from my kids banging on it as toddlers, damage from a friend spilling her nail polish remover on it, acrylic paint drips from projects over the years, dog chew marks on a leg or two, it's character that I personally like now that I'm older and think back on it. No way I'd "fix" that. YMMV.

Combine equal amounts of Furniture Clinic boiled linseed oil with rottenstone to create a paste. You can get both things at hardware or paint supply stores. Use a soft cloth and gently rub the mixture onto the stain. Be sure to rub only in the direction of the grain of the wood.

Awww, that's where your sister in law got drunk and spilled a margarita on our new table! Member that? Seems like it was just yesterday, they grow up so fast!

"and this mark right here happened the night the bottle let me down"

As the OG of ASMR says, "we don't make mistakes, we have happy accidents."

actually it does... His wife shops at restoration hardware...

I laid a wood floor once where we took alcohol to the entire floor before stain b/c we wanted to 'pop the grain' and it ended up have more defined veins.


my best guess is that there is no real way to fix it, but you can try to cover it and hope the grain in the wood isnt more defined.

What proof did that BrokeAss? I did this to a table once. When my cousin saw it, he said that I must "endeavor to persevere". I thought about his words for a long time. And when I had thought about it long enough, I declared war on the bottle that marred my poor innocent table. Soon after that my table burst into flames one sunny afternoon. I am not sure if the high proof alcohol that had soaked into the wood provided the catalyst for the event, or if it was my cousin who was freebasing next to it….anyway, really makes you think.

Alcohol usually has the opposite effect on me

Im just happy that neither me nor my wife know what restoration hardware is.

Although I didn't think about it until I saw you do this, laundry detergent MIGHT have worked with fewer abrasives.

Table Cloth

This isn't a stain. The alcohol removed the finish. It's probably a shellac finish, and alcohol will denture it.

Shellac comes in a million different types of finishes, probably best to contact Restoration Hardware and see if they'll tell you what type of finish they used.

If you want a BP bourbon resistant finish you'll probably need to apply a polyurethane.

I thought you were going to say " light it on fire!"

Nm- I missed the solution in the thread. Good job!

I'm always amazed at how bad expensive ass furniture from places like RH looks after just a few years....

One trip to their "outlet" told me enough to not want to ever buy anything from there....
