If the varnish is still undamaged, but just discoloured, try dabbing a little brasso (brass polish) on it. It has an amazing effect, and the stain will hardly be noticable.
It will be tough to remove that stain, Tea Tree Oil is closely related to Turpentine, which dissolves finishes. You can try blotting the area with a soft cloth, then rubbing it gently with a small amount of toothpaste to get the magazine part of the stain off, but you may have to consult a refinisher to find out how to repair the loss of finish (try asking at a nice antique store).
Good Luck!
there is on other possible solution. the a heating iron and a towel or paper heat it bit by bit and the oil will come out
