I just cut a frame out of Maple, and stupidly got one small pencil mark on the front. This is a gift and must be finished by tomorrow evening (Yeah I know....) and I don't have enough Maple left to replace the piece, nor any time to get to a lumber yard.
The graphite is not impressed into the wood, but it won't fully come off with the eraser. I tried MS, laquer thinner, and Xylene, but no love. Sanding would be a last-resort as the mark goes across some profiling.
Is there any surefire way to dissolve the graphite off?
