In recent weeks, we have discussed many ways to repair, reduce, and hide different types of damage in wood indoor and outdoor furniture. We have covered everything from stains, to superficial scratches, to deeper nicks, to burn holes. Now, we’re ready to deal with more serious gouges.The first method is best on the parts of your furniture, such as table legs, or cabinet doors and sides, which are not as heavily put-upon as are tabletops. Because it is a soft filler, if for example, you try to write on a piece of paper over it, the pen or pencil may sink into the patch.This type of repair is done with a furniture filler stick, made of wax or putty, and dark furniture wax, which are available at wood-finishing supply stores. After you clean the area with mineral spirits, apply a filler stick that matches the lightest shade of the wood, and then smooth it with a small piece of wood. Buff it gently with superfine steel wool, and then use the dark furniture wax to even out the color, and to hide smaller scratches.The procedure for applying a harder fill requires a bit more skill, so you may want to practice on a piece of junk furniture. You will need a shellac stick, some superfine, wet/dry sandpaper, mineral oil, alcohol (to steady your nerves, of course – just kidding!), and a grapefruit knife, or a curved burn-in knife from a wood-finishing supply store.Match the shellac stick as closely as possible to the finish. Use the knife to apply the shellac, by heating it (repeatedly), and pressing it against the stick, so that the shellac melts, and drips slowly into the hole. Fill it to just above the surface, smooth it with the knife, and let it cool. Then, even it out carefully, using the sandpaper and a bit of mineral oil. By this point, you will be more than ready for that alcohol – so use it to remove excess shellac.Naturally, it is up to you to decide how far you will go to save a piece of furniture; but, if you give up on it, it may still have a viable use as a practice piece for future repairs.
