Water marks

[Mozz28]

I recently purchased a Hunter 33.5 that had some water damaged. I was wondering if anyone had an idea how I can stain the water line mark that was left? Is there a product out there that will closely match the wood that wasn't damaged. Below are some pictures Thanks!

There are a great many variables that determine the color ,hue ,warmth tone ...Might I suggest perhaps staining a piece of cherry or mahogany and applying it horizontally

I would try just burnishing it with Danish oil and some fine bronze wool or wet/dry paper. You should be able to blend it in.

Water stains go deep, and I don't know of any process other than deep sanding that will remove them. You might want to consider covering those areas with a thin baseboard. You will have a lot better luck staining that to match, IMO.

Only problem with deep sanding is sanding thru the teak veneer into the underlying plywood core. You can sand lightly to bare wood, that will likely still exhibit stains , & attempt to re-stain and blend to surrounding undamaged wood. As you mentioned, overlaying with new veneer or baseboard is another option. Either way, it may not restore to complete satisfaction; but a big improvement, nevertheless.

Exactly

Assuming the wood isn’t rotted, it might be a lot easier, faster and less time consuming to cover the piece with new veneer

You can also try bleaching with oxalic acid.
