The SUPER STAR Case Of Fix Deep Scratches in Wood,

If your wood furniture has a deep scratch or an unsightly gouge repair it by filling it in. Wax filler sticks are the most inexpensive option and work best on narrow scratches. Wax filler putty is a better option for covering and blending wider gouges. Another option to try is wax based paint which is a creative way to mask scratches in inconspicuous spots. After blending the filler material and sanding it down you may even forget where the wood had a scratch. Rub a wax wood filler stick over the crack. These filler sticks are often sold in the shape of crayons so essentially you get to color in the wood. Choose a color that most closely matches the woods shade. Continue rubbing the stick back and forth until the entireis filled in.

Blend the filler in by rubbing it with your finger. Move your finger around the edges of the crack being careful not to remove too much of the filler inside the scratch. Smooth out the filler along the cracks edges. Get it as level with the surrounding wood as possible.

Wipe away the excess filler with a dry rag. Using a clean cloth scrub around the edges of the scratch. Remove any filler material that spilled over the scratch or elsewhere on the wood. Wipe along the woods grain as much as possible to reduce the possibility of adding new scratches. Be careful not to disturb the material in the scratch.

Let the filler material dry for 30 minutes. Make sure no one comes along and smudges it. Once the filler sets it will feelto the touch. Check the scratch again and add more filler if needed to improve it.
