Lovely new oak bedside tables,

Managed to have them a whole 3 weeks before somehow one of the has had water splashed on it and dried, now have these awful pale marks all over the top of the table and it looks terrible.

Is there anything I can do to restore it back to its natural beauty?

Same thing has just happened to my 3 month old oak dining table!
I put olive oil on the mark and let it soak in for about half an hour and the marks disappeared. I've olive oiled the whole table just as a layer of protection while i get round to buying some teak oil to smother over it.

Oiling it will take the marks out we have a oak dining table and often get marks on it, we were told to use linseed oil.
