How to Repair Scratched Mahoney Tables

Mahoney tables are named after an architect with the same surname. These tables can be found in many residential homes as well as professional offices such as architectural and engineering firms. These tables are made of wood and become scratched as a result of normal use. When a Mahoney table is scratched, simply cover the scratch with a table runner or cloth or repair the scratch yourself.
