Staining a wood table
I have finished an old oak pedestal table. I sanded it to bare wood, stained using Varathane one coat wood satin in Kona, and it turned out great. Then I did the Varathane triple thick one coat in satin. Being my first time, I had terrible brush strokes so I gently sanded using a 400 sponge but went to bare wood in 2 spots, now I can't get the stain to reach the same colour. HELP
Before top coat
I need help to fix this light spot

If the pattern is the same through out the table then you have a veneer top that looks like natural wood. You will never be able to match it no matter what you try. You might try re - sanding the whole table and use a different stain. Or you can use glaze stain techniques to create a dark wood pattern after you sanded the top.

I was going to suggest sanding the whole section back to bare wood and restaining but it sounds like you're already doing that. I'm interested in how it works for you. Good luck!
