Thanks everyone for the great advise and sympathy. I'm going to try
lightening the dark spots
and darken the light spots; soak and sand. I'm think it might look better
after several coats of poly also.

I think I shouldn't have messed with it Sunday. You know how sometimes you
just don't feel confident and put it away until later and it goes much
better? Usually these times, I either have a accident or screw up whatever
I'm working on.

Thanks again,
Gary
