Some days you get the bear and some days the bear gets you.
I am doing some ring boxes for a cousin's wedding--curly maple and walnut. I prefinished the walnut tops with Arm R Seal Satin. After assembly, I decided to finish the boxes with Arm R Seal Semi-Gloss, including adding a coat over the walnut
My inset tops now have lap marks and streaks. They look horrible:

I think I am up the creek (not sawmill). Rest of the finish looks great
So, two questions:
1. Any suggestions for fixing the finish (which I know is unlikely)
2. Assuming that I have to refinish the tops, any suggestions for removing/sanding the finish off in such a small area? I was wondering about trying to make a custom card scrape
