Help!!!!!!

[Son]

Son,
I use steel wool and soap suds and keep scrubbing. That way you don't remove the wood layers as you do with sand paper. You never get out all of the scorch marks but it continues to fad, until you reach an impasse and she will fad no further. If you want (heresy to follow) you could stain the wood to dull the effects - perhaps boot polish??

Hmmm ..boot polish........ "There's a hole in the bucket dear Liza dear Liza..."

Good call on the soapsuds and steel wool. Being non invasive I might give that a try first- thanks.
The wood is almost white and could take (gasp) some stain without getting too dark. Where it's going it doesn't need to be kosher- just look reasonable.
It's the top one in the stack, The worst of the burn is just forward of the mag well on the other side.
