Help with Staining White Poplar!

Here is the dilemma - we were talked into white poplar doors (which I now realize was a terrible choice knowing we intended to stain them the entire time). We are getting a 'yellow animal-stripe' type appearance over the grain (see second attached picture). We have had success with pre-stain first (eliminates the yellow), but the stain is still showing up quite splotchy (top picture, splotchy in bottom two corners). So, we clearly are able to eliminate the yellow, but I'm not OK with the splotchiness! Thoughts on what to try next? Ideas?
