Repair of Scratches and Surface Damage

Scratches and minor surface damage to wooden furniture are common, but they can be easily repaired. For light scratches, use a walnut: rub the walnut over the scratch, and the natural oil will help disguise it. For deeper scratches, lightly sand the affected area and apply a coat of furniture wax or oil. If there is more serious damage, consider hiring a professional to restore the piece to its original glory.
