Make sure you're using a commercial grade not a retail grade of paint stripper the key ingredient you must have is:Methylene Chloride almost all the retail versions have little to none of this because of environmentally friendly issues

CORRECT use of the cabinet scraper would be to remove large amount of stripper residue an to clean out your quirks (edges/corners) scraping like you did will form lines and make the wood patchy as it doesnt remove stain evenly, the only way to recoat a chair like the one you striped would be to spray coat it with a pigmented lacquer. Ideally you would want to restain using a transparent penetrative dye and enhance the figure, not cover it up!
