Default Stained bandsaw table

When I purchased my new band saw table last year it arrived with a
beautiful steel table.

Now it has stained due to the processing of green wood for turning.
It is not etched, just stained, mostly by green maple.

I tried mineral spirits and steel wool with limited success.

What about very fine emery cloth and oil?

Anybody have any suggestions?


If the staining is from sap, use alcohol.
If you don't have any on hand, hand cleaner will work.
See what I did there? :-)
