I have an antique oak dresser with a dark water stain- what can I do?
My grandson set a glass of water on dresser over night. Have tried toothpaste, Vaseline, coconut oil, mayo, no success. And other suggestions.
You can either sand it down and then apply a primer and paint, or you can paint it with chalk paint, which requires no sanding or priming. Here are some ideas:

Lightly sand to roughen the surface for paint. Prime with a good stain blocking primer like Zinsser 123, Kilz, or BIN. then paint your color.Use a foam roller and foam brush for a smooth finish.

ESP primer then Undercoat then Topcoat.....
I'd go for the chalk paint.
