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.
#3

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 ?
#5

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.
