HgMan3 asked:
Recently my apartment flooded. I own two unfinished oak bookcases which were on wet carpet and absorbed water into the base along the front and sides. There is a watermark and some greenish discoloration of the wood. One bookcase has about 1″ of water staining and the other 3″ +/-. Most of the damages is to the oak ply sides of the bookcase where the end grain was resting on the floor. Is there any way to remove the staining and watermarks from the wood? Sanding? Any sort of finishing techniques? A solvent of any kind? I’d like to restore rather than replace the bookcases if possible.

Just cut a Brazil Nut in half and rub it on , the oil from the nut will do the trick, i promise
The cabinet sides are made of ply and they have gotten wetit would be best to your dilemma though if you sand it will warp and they have no choice if you really have no choice if the dust can.
The wood is green as you say you really have gotten wetit would be best to your dilemma though if the affected pieces once plywood gets wet it will warp.
