Hi,
My nephew scratched my kitchen table top with a knife. It did not go all the way through to the wood, but is visible on the surface. What is the best way to repair this?

Of what material is the top made?

various hard woods pressed together with an endurance finish

Here is the link for my table, not sure if it helps:

It looks like a wood top - sanding would be the best option, IMO. You'll have to refinish afterward. If the top is veneer, you'll sand right through it.
