had a partial result and now have a tattoo as I started with it wrong way up on the wooden box

Has anybody else had these light spots where sanding back oak? Is this the colour I should be aiming to get the whole top to look like? http://instagr.am/p/U8k__Co7m-/

I've down tooled till I can decide what to do next, maybe put some Georgian oak or danish oil on it? I was hoping for a natural wood with wax on top finish.

It is a recovered stool in chintzy fabric from an old nightgown that I picked up in a charity shop.

I'm really happy with it.

Love the stool. I am renovating the whole house this year - before we get too old for it!
