Good way to fix this blemish?
#1

Would like some advice on repairing this small blemish. It is a light gouge but it does not go all the way through the mahogany veneer. What products would work best? Here are pictures:

That's almost a job for "tinted lacquer" sprayed from an airbrush in very thin layers, blending edges by lightly overlapping as you fill to the centre.

If it really is small, try one of the (hot) wax sticks in the appropriate color.

Pictures just loaded - not small. Yes, some toner carefully applied with a brush or blotter. You can make it good enough that other people won't see it - but you know where to look. classic toner, dark walnut. A repair that is too dark will look better than a repair that is too light (to me).

Thanks for advice y’all. Now, It’ll just be a matter of skill ?

It'll be a case of patience, more than skill I think. The important thing to remember is that this finish is NOT a stain IN the wood grain. It is a colored (tinted or toned) surface layer of a hard finish (lacquer) OVER the wood grain.

And yes, I agree that slightly darker will likely work better than a lighter tone.
