I collect antique wooden boxes, I have various ways of restoring them. It depends on the wood and what the woods is used for. if at all possible, the best method is to sand the wood down and restain and revarnish it. If you can't do this, and the scratches are minimal. Polish the wood and then use orange polish (not pledge or anything, but the expensive orange polish). This minimized the appearance of the scratches, but you need to make sure you keep the wood clean. Or if the scratch is all the way down through the varnish and stain, I have used a very small paintbrush to just paint that one deep scrached area and then put a little varnish on top. There are also other products like orange sticks and other waxes and oils that you can try, they will all be in the same section as the orange polish.

If your talking about furnitures made of wood,, you can buy a wood buffer like pledge or powermax.. They can do it.. Plus,, after it gets the scratches of,, it will protect the wood to prevent other damages..

Depending on the deepness of the scratch you may need to use a fill stick.

all depends, if it is furniture you can buy wax penciles, if it's a piece of unfinished wood then you can use wood filler.

Get a new piece instead; that would be easier
