<p>[QUOTE="gregsglass, post: 250364, member: 78"]Hi,</p><p> I usually try NOT to bleach the stripped oak but sometimes it needs the bleach. If it is too light I use a darker stain such as Jacobean Oak which will tone it down. I was doing a refinish job for this lady and her oak table was in a real mess. It had to be sanded down and bleached and scraped. She stopped in to see it before I started the refinish. She was so delighted with the almost "blonde" look and did not want me to do anything to it. She said it was perfect for her rustic beach house. She left and I did a quick white wax to the raw wood. She was still happy 4 years later. You never know what is going to happen with some people. My favorite was a guy who wanted a light green dye rubbed in an oak bench. I thought it looked horrible, he was so excited and happy. I should have thought to have him committed. </p><p>greg[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
