How to remove scratches from an oak table?
Filed Under (tables) by admin
William T asked:


My friends and I were playing this game where we used some hardened plastic cups as instruments on this old table my mom has. After about 10 min, we noticed that some indentations and scratches were left on the table. This table is very special to my mom, and it is not a classic wooden kitchen table. It appears to be red oak, or something close to that. Any suggestions on how to remove/fix these?

    If they are just surface scratches, you can get a stain pen from any hardware store and rub that into it. They are usually sold in packages of 3 and you can mix the colors to get a match, or try to see if 1 matches out of the package. If it is a lacquered, or shiny finish, then you can reapply the finish on top if it. However, if you have actually scratched into the wood and made grooves, you will need a professional repair job.

    GOOD LUCK!
