B E A U T I F U L !!! Great information that was perfectly clear. Love the natural pinkish ash that only comes with oak...and thanks for not putting a white wash over it. It still has its natural beauty that looks quite fresh !
what would you advice for wood that has never been treated or stains. but you want it to have an almost white color before you clear coat it. I'm wanting to build a bench that is contrasted between bleached out wood and either ebony or black walnut.
The bed frame looks AMAZING! Was there a product you prefer more? Do you think it was necessary for your piece to be treated with all three? What would you have done differently? Thank you for sharing!!!
How appropriate... between chaos. Tomorrow when I go back at my mid century cedar chest top after 3 strips, I will attempt to use #3 bleach choice and keep you informed. Being a beginner I stained it to a dark brown when it had an original (shall I say honey) finish. I won't go into how I got to that color because damage done. Have been at this for a week now with sanding, steel wool, mineral spirits and stripping. Obviously it has a wood veneer and surprisingly the grain is still prominent. My only question is how much is the bleach choice going to diminish that grain? If any and of course any help will be appreciated. Thank you for this video. You never know how much you help til you extend your hand and wisdom.
1. My Sodium Hydroxide is in a powder form that I am to mix with water. Any idea on the bottle you used what is the ratio of powder to water? 2. Sanding - do you remember what grade of paper you used? 3. "After sanding, neutralise the bleach with diluted vinegar." - How much diluted? I am going to do this on pomelle sapele wood guitar body - want the grain, but not the natural color. Thank you in advance for your reply.
Just what I needed in the middle of a project stripping an old coffee table. Thank you.

Well done and the most accurate explanation I have seen.

All the same questions I have and also do you seal the wood after you bleach it?
Wow super super helpful
Such helpful information! Thank you!
Hey! Great video. I wondered if you knew a brand of a b bleach that didn’t need you to apply the solutions separately?
I tried to find the detailed instructions on your website and couldn’t find it. Could you share?

How I can get rid off small in barnwood?
In your stripping description you mention you changed from steel wool to something else. What did you use?
How long do you wait after applying the bleach to neutralize it?

Will this work on darker stains like cherry rather than oak? I see more ways on lightening oak and painting over darker stains, instead of lightening.
Great video! What bleach did you prefer?
Did you seal the bed? If so, what did you use?
Yes I did! I used Polycrylic in matte.
@@InBetweenChaos Thats my go-to!!! good stuff!
Thank you. 👍🏻
Does the 2 part bleach have fumes?
“Wow so amazing 💀💀”
I m hoping to bribe someone in the household to remove the stain for me 😅
Those stains on the bed frame was questionable 🤨!???! 😂 jk
