You can try matching the color and re shellacking the stock. The new shellac will melt into the remaining finish. It will be shiny. You can knock the gloss down by rubbing it with 4/0 steel wool dipped in BLO. Just wipe all the oil off and let it dry. This would be the least intrusive method. If it doesn't look good then you can do a complete refinish. We all make mistakes. yours is relatively easy to fix.
