Hello Comander owners. I am new to boat ownership and am working to revitalize Fancy. i have started to sand the upper cabin and have noticed that the mahogany ply and the solid pieces have different colors once sanded. I do want to have a balanced look and really don't know if i should stain first or what to do. turning to this forum to help me. hoping this is the best place to get this information.

Your boat your choice. The Admiral prefers a different color mahogany than used on ours. The great news is, it's a 68 and has old tech wood and not next year's high tech plastic. Welcome aboard.

Not to worry about the colors .
If you'd like get them closer in color
You can always use some wood bleach.
However minor color differences will not be much of an issue once stained.
Here's a bunch of photos of the process .
That was fast and thank you Timothy, Sterling and Jeremy . The pictures were informative in many ways. i am reserching all my options but leaning to varinsh with out staining.
To be clear I'm not saying you shouldn't use stain and sealer first before varnish.
The stain will greatly help in making your color from part to part look much more uniform
