Furniture Scratches

Small scratches on furniture often disappear if they are rubbed with nut meats. The oil in the nuts darkens and conceals the scratch. An oily nut like a pecan or butternut is best. Cut the kernel with a knife and rub the cut side into the scratch. Then polish the surface of the wood with a soft dry cloth. A mixture of two-thirds linseed oil and one-third turpentine is also good for rubbing scratches out of sight, as is a reliable commercial furniture polish.
