Default Re: Wood Restoration

Carl,

You might try Oxalic Acid, I know Daly's sells it in a crystal form that needs to be mixed with water, they also have a product called "Wood Brightener" that is premixed. Try a small area or a different piece of wood it is fairly mild and takes some time to work, it works well on discolored cedar.
I would finish with a penetrating oil finish such as Teak Oil and avoid using a varnish which builds on the surface and will eventually fail and peel.
