Spalted wood stain

Feb 06, 2006 4 Replies

Does anyone know if it's possible to eliminate the stain from spalting? I'm working with some very slightly spalted quilted maple (I didn't notice the slight stains when I purchased it), but it's become bothersome as I've worked with it. I've tried chlorine bleach, but it doesn't seem to have any effect. I don't think oxalic acid will do it (not a metal stain) either.



Suggestions appreciated...

Guy in this thread says oxalic removes his spalting stains.
