I put a first coat of pure tung oil on a cherry blanket chest that I had initially sanded to 220. A line that marked the dovetail line on the front emerged after that first coat. The line wasn't visible until the coat went on. After 24 hours I sanded the line out and also an inch or so "in" from the line. When I rubbed new tung oil on the now bare area, it comes out much lighter than the surrounding oiled cherry. It is noticeable to me but may not be a deal killer on the project. Should I:
1. Let it sit for a day or two to see if it will darken? (My preferred option)
2. Sand out the entire front of the chest and re-oil it?
3. Some other option I haven't thought of?
Thanks
