Years ago an older friend showed me how to use cigarette ashes and mayo mixed, to remove spots on wood. It worked, not sure the surface we were working on had just black spots or other blemishes but it worked. I was shocked. You might give it a try. If you can find someone who smokes who can save some ashes for you.
I had a cute night stand I purchased from an auction with the same ailmen. Found an answer and it worked. Purchase Bar Keepers Friend make a paste using water. Spread that on the dark spot and leave for 24 hours. Remove and repeat until it’s gone. I had to do it three times But it looks perfect now. If that doesn’t work you’ll have to strip the old finish, sand and refinish it. Good luck!
If it's OAK, the black may be Ammonia Stains. They're usually Deep. And Permanent!
Can you post a photo? Sometimes it just may be how the stain set when originally finished.
