How to remove hairline scratches and a circular burn mark off a mahogany coffee table?

I have had this coffee table for several years and it matches the other furniture in the room so don閳ユ獩 want to just get a new one due to the condition of it, would mean replacing all the matching furniture!!



Left a dish on the table some years ago and it had floating candles inside the dish, the water heated up and left an imprint of the dish on the table (this seems to be under the varnished layer) also it閳ユ獨 covered in hair line scratches, and recently some deeper ones have been added by the kids.



Anyone recommend a fix??

Is your table 'varnished'? If so a suitable solution would be to use Wax and Wire Wool. Buy some triple 0 wire wool (the finest grade) and some solid furniture wax. Wipe the wool over the wax and gentlly rub with the grain. You will soon find the best pressure to use. Continue with thw wax and wool, changing the wool pad if it becomes clogged and is not cutting the varnish. Do not be afraid that the wool will badly mark your table, it wont! It may take a while and some effort but you will wind up with a restored table top with a wonderfully smooth finish that nicely reflects the light
