I have a wooden table, which I accidentally spilled water onto yesterday. I thought it would simply dry, but a couple of hours later I noticed that the water had pooled on the wood and the surface under the pool appeared discolored.
I dried it off and noticed that the gray discoloration was coming off, so I scrubbed all of the gray off, and afterward the color looked consistent. Unfortunately, a few hours later I found that the area under the pools now looks completely different from the rest of the table.
My guess is that I accidentally removed the stain from the wood. I know nothing about this topic though, so I wanted to ask the experts:
What do you think happened here?
How can I fix it?
A picture of the current state of the table is attached.
