   I'm surprised no one has answered.  How big is the spot?  Can only you see it?  If yes, maybe you should do nothing.  Is the spot in that just-perfect location to add a penny (to date the work) or your signature?  If you satin-finish the surface would it obscure the spot?  With poly refinishing might be your only option.

   thanks for the reply benM. I was wondering about that also.

   the problem with the spot is it is righjt on the top of  a walnut piece. If the light hits it just right it shows up as a dull mark. The size of it is about 1" square. I suppose I'm just a perfectionist, my wife sais to leave it alone but I know if I don't fix it , it will bother me every time I look at it, sincerely, bob

   There has been some flaw in every piece I have ever built.  Something that I wish hadn't happened, or that I know I will do better the next time.  But I finally have accepted that it is better to do another piece than to redo the same one again and again... Some of the flaws that almost made me start over, I can't even find any more!

   If you wife is happy, maybe you need to make the next piece - worry about coming back to fix this one when you have nothing more to do.  ________________________Charlie Plesums  Austin, Texashttp://www.plesums.com/wood
