We had a small candle burning in a glass container (about the size of a
shot
glass) on our wood mantle. The candle burned to the bottom of the wick.
The
container got so hot, we now have a black scorch mark on the wood. Are
there
any tricks to removing this, or is our only option to sand and refinish?

You can't unscorch wood. Sand and refinish.
