Well, that gives me lots to think about, thanks guys... (Except for Bamboo Ben, you freakin' pyro! :) )

I could try to lightly brown it like a marshmello, taking it real easy. If a spot gets a bit too dark with the torch, I can always touch it up with sand paper to remove any char marks.

Yeah, the yellowish area was a little moister than the rest, so maybe the torch would help to dry the surface enough to take a little bit more of the light stain. Then I can dab a bit on the yellowish area, avoiding the edges.

Never used a torch before, but I'm sure I could get a nice toasty brown shade going if I take it real slow, get it halfway there, then maybe apply a little more stain to try to even it up.

Hey, what's the worst that could happen?!!??
