I'm finishing my coffee table and have been using a Sam Maloof finish
which is
Tung oil, Linseed oil and Varnish. I noticed some scratches after applying
the
first coat and sanded it with 300 grit paper and applied the second coat.
It
appears to be lighter on the places I sanded and wondered if I should sand
it
down and start over. I did sand through the finish on those spots.

I really like the Sam Maloof finish by the way.

Simply apply another coat and see what the result is. Most likely it will
all look pretty good after the 3 rd coat.
