To me, the picture (Post #35) suggests a try at a fix. It's very thin veneer, which can only take a little light sanding.
I would make numerous test stains until the result was near original color, then gingerly apply with an artist brush. Perfection unlikely . Coat with satin varnish, of which Interlux has only a minor stain.
On the interior of my current boat, I am convinced that Ericson applied stain-varnish with brush or sometimes a rag, for awkward raw pieces, and that it is the color of the varnish we are trying to match, as much as that of the veneer.
