Ok so I made this coffee table, pic coming up, and In the white ring of the pic, you can tell the stain came a bit botchy/black. I plan on sanding that spot only back to bare wood, and then recoating CAREFULLY with the exact same stain [this was only stained a few weeks ago]. WIll doing this, in exactly the same way i did it last time, just more carefully, leave a visible mark where it was stripped and recoated?

Wow that's a crazy finish. What did you use (which I'm guessing people who know what they're talking about will want to know first anyway)?

What you need to think about is what caused the stain to go blotchy.
It is reasonable to expect that its something in the timber..a change in texture or such.
I recon it is far from a guaranteed thing.
If it is not nasty or uggly, I'd leave it as a testiment to it being real wood.
