Spilled some on cherry finish. Now I have a very real stain I cannot seem to remove. This is likely more chemical than stain. Anyone with experience on how to correct this? The wood is cherry. It's a very nice piece of furniture so I really need to fix this.

My condolences -- I suspect you are looking at a "strip and re-stain" operation. The solvents in the cleaner likely have dissolved the original finish which was then transferred to whatever substance you used to pick up the spill.

Can you post a picture? How old is the cherry piece? That may give an idea of the finish. Looking at some older posts and the MDS data, it seems to be potassium hydroxide in water, maybe a bit like ammonia. If you've got a dark stain in addition to the finish being removed, you will probably have to do some very fine sanding with 400-600 grit wet or dry and then try to repair the finish with something easy to apply, like Danish oil.

 

If you think it's beyond your skill level, search for a shop that does furniture repairs and has a qualified finish restorer. Insurance companies hire these companies to fix furniture that gets damaged by moving companies.

For love of it. And yet not waste time either.

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..

      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o

      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
