    Hi Alkay, worth a try using the steel wool. I'd say the ink has soaked in through the whole veneer so I'd say you may not be able to remove it other than sanding through the veneer

    Hi wokkaboy,

    I've tried some steel wool, but I think you are right in that the ink is soaked through the whole veneer. It is very thin.

    Do you think I should just keep doing the lemon juice and just keep wiping until I can't see any colour on the lint free cloth?

    Then do a light mix of water and cedar for the body. Not sure what ratio to use but lighter is always better as I can always go darker. If you look at the pine test I did with the cedar you can see it's quite dark. I actually don't mind it but you guys would know what the end result will look like with your experience.

    Cheers,

    Alkay.
