I have done a search as I am sure other DIYer's have had the same unfortunate occurence and the Pro's in DIY.com will have some wonderful way of recovering from it, but may be it is only me with the problem.
I have just completed an Oak cabinet for the living room. On completion I oiled it with Danish Oil and put it in the room. Mrs H then manages to drop a rather heavy metal object on to the top surface which resulted in an indentation about a cm square area and about 1 mm deep. The only recovery I can think of is resand the indentation to 'round off the edges and then re-oil. This is not really a satisfactory solution.
I don't have access to a 18" wide planer to remove 1 mm from the surface.
I thought of may be dropping a small quantity of water on the indentation with the view of 'swelling' the wood in the area of the indentation, but I don't think that would be a practical solution.
Has any Carpenter solved a similar problem.
