What do you suppose caused this discoloration in this maple plywood?

I finished it with no stain, sealed with vinyl, topcoat with MagnaMax.

As you can see all the wood around it wasn't affected.
It didn't show up until about a month or so after I finished it.

Because this was unfinished during the tile process it had some
alkali stains in a few places that I had to treat with oxalic. I've never
had oa do this that I can remember and it just affected this drawer.

Right now I've stripped off the finish and am trying different ph
approaches with not much success.
I'll most likely mild 2 part it and sand.

What do you think I might have wiped it with to cause this
(memory the second thing to go)?

I just wanted to know if anybody had this experience with maple
so I can avoid it in the future.

Love that maple! : (

Thanks
