Old English has wood stain in light and dark. It comes in a bottle. First, clean the wood, with Murphy's oil soap, and then wipe down any residue. Drop a few drops on the spot, rub it in lightly with a cotton rag. Rub the way the grain is going, and leave it for at least 4 hrs. Then rub with paper towel, and do this until the paper towel is clean. Good Luck!
you can also use a wood marker/ crayon to cover small spots
