Dear Mike,Boy, there is no easy fix for this one. At this point, aside from re-veneering the top, the answer is in finishing. I dont know if it is a clear finish or one with stain, if it is stained you can do a lot with tinting in the finish. If you have sanded down to the substrate there is not a lot you can do about that.In looking back, you can really draw a scratch out so the sanding is much less by removing the finish, soaking a rag with water, putting it on the scratch and steaming it with a hot iron.Although it will not completely remove the scratch it will raise a lot of it out so a small amountof sanding will often do the job.At this point, without seeing it, it sounds like a re-veneering job.SincerelyDarryl Keil: I have caused fairly deep scratches in a veneered furniture piece. : The damaged surface is flat and easily accessible. I was sliding an : audio component into an entertainment center and it had a sharp edge : that caused fairly deep scratches. Not realizing at first that the : material was a veneer I started to try to sand out the scratches, but : all I did was begin to remove the veneer and expose the pressed board : below. Is there anything I can do to a) repair the scratches and b) : repair the small area that I have removed the veneer? The piece has : the look of light pine.
