Peter,
Thanks for the reply. I was going to use a commercial product available
in my local big box, but was hoping that someone could share a little know
"trick" with my that might do a better job. I've used the wood
bleach/restorer but was hoping for something that may provide "better"
results. I guess that it's back to the bleach.
Thanks again:-)
