Default Water Damage on Wood Furniture

Terry,

on the cherry table: try leaving mayonnaise, furniture polish or
petroleum jelly on the rings overnight. Another method would be to
lightly dampen a rag with denatured alcohol and wipe the rings with
light pressure. Good luck.

One the front corner of our buffet, a leaky water pitcher was placed
and left over night, and unfortunately was rubbed briskly when it was
still soft. The varnish is a bit gummy now and the surface is less
than smooth. Is there any way to fix it with out having to refinish
the whole top?

Also have a Cherry dining table with water rings from hot drinks.
Still perfectly smooth, just a white haze left behind.

Would greatly appreciate help in restoring these items. Thanks!
