Bmth Builder Posted April 30, 2009 Report Share Posted April 30, 2009 So maple can have a lot of discolouration in it, like mineral stains, heart wood, spalting etc, and the best tops for finishing seem to be very clean white, but how much do these colours affect finishing, like can you bleach them off, or cover them up? Say a top was an even off brown, if you did a tiger eye finish would it look as good as a finish that was done on a clean white top?
