I just read an article about using potash. It's toxic though and you have to be careful with it. It also only works on woods with fairly high tannin content like oak.

Welcome to the forum! Like Rick said, when you get a chance please add your first name to your profile so we'll know who we're talking to. We can see it's Alan but we won't remember that past this thread more than likely.

And we love to see photos so please post some photos of your work when you're able. You can post photos from your computer now but you can't post a link to photos until you have 10 posts.
