You might try rubbing a pecan or a piece of walnut over the scratch. It'll still be there, but this should help with the color. Also, I use "Old English" for many scratches. You can add until it's the correct color.
Hi Ann, you can try
Rub Out Surface Scratches. You can rub out surface scratches in your wooden furniture with a paste made of mineral oil and pumice (available in powder form at hardware and paint stores). Use extra-fine-grade steel wool to rub the mixture into the scratched area. Then wipe it off and buff with a dry cloth.
Remove any excess wax by wiping with a cloth and white spirit. Apply beeswax lightly to the scratch and the surrounding area and buff with a duster. 3) If you want to repair a shallow scratch on an area that is less visible such as a chair leg then find a wood stain close in colour to your scratched surface.
Minwax Stain Markers for surface scratches. Minwax Blend Fil pencils for deep scratches. Minwax wood putty for deeper scratches.
I like to use hemp oil on scratches to disguise them. It will also refresh the wood.
