Recent purchase of tomato stake for renovation. Forarm badly stained, not oil. Tried heat. Tried acetone. Sanded heavily, then lightly with improvement, but still darker than buttstock which I've lightly sanded, acetoned, then will treat with boiled linseed in mulitple light coats with light sanding. How can I lighten the forstock? I seem to remember a post last fall on refinishing wood, but can't find it. If it won't lighten, I guess I can use the tea trick on the buttstock to darken it to match. ?ideas. John
