What is the best product to use on a wood table that has bad scratches

I love my Mom's old mahogany table from the 1950's but... I am handicapped and cannot undertake a complete restoration. What products can I apply that will rehydrate the wood and disguise some of the scratches?
Thanks for any help!

    Olde English scratch polish, it may need two applications. Then rub in Orange Glow oil. Wal Mart has both. For deep scratches, it may need them filled with wood putty, than sanded and stained with the Olde English before the oil is applied. I apply the orange oil at least yearly to all my wood furniture to keep it looking like new.

    Try using coconut oil. Old english does not really cover the scratches as I have a situation that I thought would do the trick(but did not) .

    I agree with Paula. I use Old English on my furniture!

    old english polish is really short term. I think the formula of the old days is no longer> Just my opinion as thats allI used to use .

    Old English is the best! It is my go-to product for wood. It's specifically designed for scratch cover and hydration. Comes in dark or light depending on the original finish you're trying to beautify

      Thanks so much! This table has lovely lines but after having five kids in the house, and many grandkids it really needs some love!
