Hi palminnie, is it a small burn like from cigarette? if so you might get away with sanding if you don't mind a little unevenness. If it is a larger area you might have to sand so much that you end up with a wafer thin table or with most of the original surface gone. Again you could sand the area and fill it with wood filler, followed by woodstain to match or else paint it to hide repair job. Another idea would be to cut a whole new top for the table and either replace old or add over it. I have done this with a couple of pieces...see repurposing old furniture in before and after section...probably on page 3 as I haven't posted in a while....wow I never thought I'd be a page 3 girl!!:0 Eibhlin.
