mad mad mad
Was fugging horrible before I spent a 1/2 hr rubbing out the blotches with a blue jean rag
Still all jacked up..
Used min wax pre stain crap .
Supposed to make it even and not blotch.
Bet I woulda had same results if I had never used it.....
Schit turned out like a freshman wood shop project.
Big fat C for a grade.......

Gonna hit the dark areas of blotch with some selective straight mineral spirits.
See if it can get rid of some of it.
Dunno...
It might lift some of it out...

Pretty flustered...
Why I always liked to work with oak, red cedar, and Black walnut.

Cause I found out back in freshman wood shop.
Birch and maple suck the root IMO.....

At least I got grain showing versus the factory finish that was
Sprayed on it to completely cover tone differences and make it all look the same
Factory schitt.........

Either way
Let it dry overnight
Start the tru oil tommorow.

Is what it is.

A birch stock.........
