What are the white spots from?

If the mars are from digs and the natural wood is showing, you can get wood filler to fill in the dents and cracks and such. Make sure you get a stain-able wood filler. They make small tubes. It's easier to use than wood putty. For scratches, you can just use a cover up, it's a liquid pen with stain to match the stain on the furniture.

Thx. the white spots are water stains, I guess. My friends did it. The mars are prob not deep enough for the filler, but I'll try the pen that I used on a cabinet.

I had white water spots on my pine dining room table which were caused from not protecting the wood from hot plates. I used a combination of white toothpaste and a little baking soda, rubbed it together softly with a towel and it worked pretty well.
