Please suggest something for scratches

Hi.

We just got brand new light pine tables for our living room. Well I have one of those iron candle holder things on it and when I went to move it - it scratched

What can I put on it to get rid of the scratches.

Please help!!

Furniture polish or oil will get it out, unless its really deep then . If a scratch is deep, try to darken with wood stain or a cloth that bleeds a little of its dye. Rub with lemon-oil or boiled linseed oil. If it is very deep, try this: Rub lightly with steel wool and oil. Make a pad of folddn soft non-lint cloth. Rub on paraffin oil and then a little shellac with very light pressure. Keep cloth down close to scratch to keep aire from clouding shellac. When dry, polish by rubbing.. Note: Shellac clouds when air mixes with it. Do not lift pad when rubbing!
