We've got a project in which the doors that were placed will be stained. The doors have birch veneer and contain several dark areas (heart wood?). We would like to stain them and try to prevent such a sharp contrast. Can a sanding sealer be used to prevent or minimize the effects? Any other items that could be used?
Thanks,
