We have just bought some beautiful wooden shelves made from wild cherry tree. The first thing we did was to place some speakers on them which scratched the shelves. How can we remove the scratches? The wood is a very dark red colour. The scratches are not very deep, but you can feel them.

This may sound strange to you, but it's what restorers do if the scratches aren't too deep.
Take a wet cloth and a hot iron.
Place the cloth over the affected area and iron it.
The steam produced expands the wood - which means the scratch disappears.
If the scratch is deep, then your only solution is to fill it, a colour matching furniture wax crayon will work.

If you get a crayon the same colour or near to the colour you can just draw over the scratch and the wax from the crayon with cover it worth a try. Good luck

You can buy a special furniture polish (French Polish) that can fix this. A bit like T-Cut on a scratched car.

most home improvement centers sell small touch-up things that kind of look like a magic marker. They come in different stain colors. I've used them before and they work just fine. You can find them near the wood finishes section.

I have seen scratches being removed/filled using cigarette ash with great results. Otherwise you can buy scratch cover solutions in various colours.

You could use a sander and completely strip the shelves and refinish them or you could use some cherry stain and wipe them down with a rag. This will make the scratches blend in and works quite well with minimal effort.
