In keeping with the "firewood to boards" thread, I noticed that some of these maple boards with the beautiful figure (is it called curly, or quilted, or tiger, or are they all the same?) have some sort of greyish discoloration which I assume is some sort of mold starting. I've tried a few types of weak acid solutions on some test parts (oxylic, muriatic, phosphoric) and it didn't seem to touch it. I didn't have any clorox to try that, but I will get some tomorrow if someone thinks it will work. I almost went as far as to take some of the chlorine powder from the pool and mix some with water and slather it on...
