Scratches - First try rubbing the scratch with a thick paste of boiled linseed oil with either pumice or rottenstone, depending on the depth of the scratch. If the scratch is still noticeable, apply a paste wax and rub very lightly with extra fine (000) steel wool in the direction of the grain.
Rottenstone: Is a fine, abrasive limestone powder used to create a hand rubbed finish. It can also be used to remove minor blemishes.
Pumice: A harder abrasive than rottenstone, is used for deeper, more severe scratches. It may also leave a dull spot, in which case, a paste of rottenstone and boiled linseed oil is recommended.
Boiled Linseed Oil: A yellowish drying oil, provides color to cover minor scratches.
