    if it is a table with a finish on it…it might work if you lightly sand down the stain, and then re-finish it. take a picture of it, go to lowes, and they can easily help you find the right finish.

    short answer is you can’t. wood is porous and absorbs liquids like acetone. acetone will eat right through wood finishes and stain permanently.
    the long answer is you can with a little work. you’ll need to sand down the stain to the point that the acetone is removed. depending on how much was spilled it may be a little sanding or a lot. then you’ll need to find a stain that matches what’s already there. i recommend taking the table or a piece of it if possible to a hardware/paint store to help match the color. once you have your stain start with a little section to make sure the color is correct. apply according to directions and allow to dry for however long is necessary. if it matches then go ahead with the rest.
    and buy the stain in as small a container as possible so you don’t waste a bunch of money if it turns out to be the wrong color. the little tiny sampler containers should do the trick.
