I have a huge permanent marker stain on my dinning room table which is stained wood. Is there anyway that I can get it off?

I don't think this is the place for a wood finishing question as applies to furniture. Try a citrus based cleaner. That shouldn't harm your table but try it first in an unseen area. If that doesn't work again try a place under the table or otherwise un seen where you can test a method? I presume you don't know what the finish top coat is, ie pre cat varnish, polyurathane, etc. put a mark in an unseen but finished area and try a little acetone on a slightly dampened rag. If the top coat is laquer you have a real problem. Hope the citrus cleaner works or try a finishing forum.
