water stain on untreated pine

[knocker]

How do i get rid of a water stain on untreated pine furniture please?

 

[PowerTool]

Don't know - how deep into the wood is it ?
Possible to sand it out if only very shallow,or even stain over the top with water-based stain ?

Water marks in pine/soft wood can almost always be 95% removed by washing the surface with plain water and scrubbing the surface with wire wool or a scotch pad. The water will dissolve the stain and raise the grain simultaneously so sanding the grain flat again will remove the remainder of the mark. If using a sander always finish sanding by hand with the grain to avoid sanding marks.
Good luck!
