Fred, the way I do it works on sanded or finished stocks as long as the wood fibers aren't broken. If they are you won't be able to bring them up. I use a sauce pan about 1/2 full of water, cover tightly with aluminum foil, prick a pin hole in the center and put on stove or hot plate. When the water begins to boil a jet of steam will come up through the pin hole. Hold the damged area over the steam about an inch away for a few seconds and that does it. If you hold it there for more than 10 seconds and it doesn't raise the dent you have broken fibers and will have to fill it. Brownells (515) 623-5401 sells shellac sticks that fill these areas nicely. They come in different shades so you can match to whatever shade your finished stock will be. George
