Default Repairing Bernhardt Table Finish

Bernhardt won't answer my email with this question....

I damaged a one of your tables. An oil candle spilled on it and the ol
was left there for days before I noticed. Then the finish was removed
where the oil spilled. How shold I repair it? (Ohter than have the
whole thing refinished.)

The literature that came with the table says it's called "Antique Old
World Finish."

What I plan to do: remove all the finish on the top (leaving the rest
of the table untouched). Then apply a new finish which matches the old
in color as close as possible. I'll probably use a laquer. I'm hoping
members of this group can suggests exactly what....

For reference: http://www.bernhardt.com/. The closet thing I can find
to the one I have is the Grand Savannah.

Cheers.

Default Repairing Bernhardt Table Finish

Ok, I found the exact model: it's called Embassy Row. It can be found
on the 5'th tab of the dining room furniture. I've heard Bernhardt uses
a 13-step finishing process - that's scary since I use only a few
steps, excluding sanding.
