# How to Remove Scratches From My Wood Table
All of the various surfaces found in your home are susceptible to different types of damage. Wooden items, like tables and chairs, are particularly vulnerable. This is because wood surfaces are not only damaged by things like scratches, but moisture can also ruin your wooden furniture. One wooden surface that might get a lot of wear and tear and that can come into contact with moisture, such as from a beverage, is a wood table. To avoid further damage, take measures to remove scratches from your wood table as soon as possible.

1
Crack open a walnut or Brazil nut. According to Good Housekeeping, the natural oil can help remove the scratches from your wood table.

2
Rub the exposed nut against the scratch on the wood table. Be sure to rub in the same direction as the grain of the wood to cover the scratch more effectively.
-
3
Use a soft cloth to polish the wood and check to see if you can still see any trace of the scratches.

4
Rub the scratched area of your wood table with 00-gauge steel wool if the nut did not remove the scratch. This will remove the scratch but will also remove some of the finish.

Fill in the area of your wood table where you removed the finish using a finish pen. Be sure the color of the pen matches your wood exactly.
