Not really...
However, if you match grain, are VERY precise with your cuts, and sand
really smooth, you might make it less noticable.

Put a strip of duct tape over it.

Don't know if it'll work in your case, but I have taken a router bit,
possibly a v shaped bit(chamfer bit) and run along a seam to make it look
like part of the design.

You might be able to "fake it" by trying to use a combination of glaze
and stain. If you are really good with a glaze and a dry brush you
might be able to create some fake grain. This works OK on darker
finishes, but if you're talking about a light stain, I'm not sure you
can do much more than try to match the grain in alignment.
