A black permanent marker was used on my kitchen table. My daughter is 3, my bad for leaving the marker out!
An image of the damage:
The top circled area shows one mark. The bottom circle is where my wife tried to scrub another black mark, and unfortunately the table in that area looks scuffed up now.
Some information on the the table:
- Handcrafted of solid hardwood known for its heft and pronounced grain
- Hand planed, sanded and finished in antiqued grey to enhance its distressed look
- By their nature, unsealed wood planks may be somewhat uneven, and may cup or bow slightly over time, further enhancing their rustic one-of-a-kind character; cracks may be present

Often permanent markers can be removed with isopropyl alcohol. First, assuming you still have the markers, I'd try using this to remove it from a test surface. If it works, then try on the bottom of your table to ensure it does not damage the finish. If it is safe, then use it to try and remove the marker from your table.
