If you look at the other examples in the links, do you still think it's the same thing you were thinking originally?
Isn't the "X" shaped scratch in the circled area the "graffiti"? Looking at other examples online, I don't think it is what you might be...
Seeing the photos, I'd lean towards sacrificing the wood grain toning if that's what it took to neutralize the spots. I don't think it adds enough...
