I knew when I asked the question here, that I just wasn’t satisfied with the darkness of the stain. Today I took some mineral spirits and grade 0 steel wool, and went to work lightening the color. Here’s the result, and it looks much closer to what I had in mind. I believe I’m finally satisfied with it. Though it’s still darker than the original stain, it’s a great choice.
