How to remove or fix wood table top rings and finish missing?
+1
My table has been WELL USED. But still sturdy and in good condition. Except for the finish missing in a few spots and a ring from a glass. How can I fix without refinishing? I know about the Eagle glazes I can use but this top has some inlay.
Repair may depend upon what type of finish is on the table. You can put a TINY bit of denatured alcohol on a cotton ball or rag. Rub the ring to see what happens. Alcohol will dissolve shellac and remove the ring.
You could give this a try. Let me know if it works.

How to Remove Spots on Wood
I used mayonnaise to remove white spots on my table. Let it sit overnight and rubbed it off in the morning.
Place a cloth over the water ring. An iron set to medium heat and iron over the cloth. To finish....scuff the surface with a green kitchen scrubby or 0000 steel wool. Wipe clean with a damp cloth. Then apply three coats of a water based polyurethane. Your choice of sheen.
