Go the the hardware store and get a nail set. That will make the least amount of mess. or you can take a 16d nail and file the tip flat the size of a pencil lead and use that.


good luck
If you have a pair of Vise Grip Pliers,you can lock those onto the end and pull it out. Otherwise do you own a Mill B.(I won't say it people!) File? if so,file the end of the nail . Byee
take a dremel tool with a grinder and grind it below the surface a little and refinish the wood or take a pair of cuting pliers and cut it below the surface
Use a nail set punch to drive it deeper in to the wood.
If you can not pull it and it won't hammer down there are a couple options. 1 grind or file down as close as possible then with a nail punch hit it to dimple it into the wood, fill with wood putty and sand. 2 Take a small wood chisel make a small grove and nail punch the nail into grove, wood fill and sand.
You need to countersink it. Use a nail punch positioned over the nail and hit that with the hammer.
