I'm in the process of restoring an old sewing machine cabinet that is covered with oak veneer. I've removed the dirt and old shellac with alcohol and have discovered several black marks in the veneer. I'm not sure what has caused the marks but I suspect they've been on the machine for quite some time. Does anyone know what I can use to remove these black marks from the oak veneer? I'd like to finish the project with a wash coat of shellac, a light brown dye and then several coats of shellac. Thanks.
