I agree with Charles. I would also sand the piece of wood with the stain a bit then apply the darker stain.

This all depends on how much of a 'purist' about wood you are. I always sand old stain a bit, but a darker stain will cover it anyway.

How can you get pen stain off white shorts?

Saturate the stain with sprayed hair spray, then throw the garment into the wash. If the stain doesn't completely come out, repeat the process. DO NOT dry the garment until the stain has washed out! What happens is that the hair spray, which contains lacquer, dissolves the ink, but the hair spray also washes out in water/detergent. (Taking the ink with it.)
