I had a problem with one of the four boards again. This time I more carefully examined them before putting the poly on. It seems I was putting the stain on a bit too thick. I was doing this to try and color match the best I could. Well, some stain must have pooled and not soaked in. Instead, it dried on top of the board, and this caused the problem.

I sanded down my one board again and re-stained it this weekend. This time I just let it sit for a good 30 minutes (5-15 recommended on the can) and then wiped it down. I don't anticipate any problems this time.
