I'm a weekend hack trying to refurbish an arcade cabinet with cedan red oak veneer on front and sides. I'm using a regular minwax stain. When wiping off stain on one of the sides, I used a microfiber cloth and I think that is the cause of some unevenness in the finish. My first attempt was just to wipe on/ wipe off another coat of stain, but it had little effect. My next instinct was lightly sand and start over on that side, but thought I should get a second opinion before I made it worse.
Attached are some pictures. Looking straight on, the finish actually looks pretty good, but looking edge-on, it's clear that something is messed up. Should I sand this down and try again? Can I get by with 220, or do I need to start coarser and work back up? Any other recommendations?
