[QUOTE="Tim Sharp, post: 2303496, member: 107251"] If you are looking for a natural wood grain you can strip the finish then use household bleach to lighten the stain. (It may or may not change the color.) Do not sand the wood because you will change the dimensions. Additionally, I would not use acetone or other solvents because it may effect the lamination of the wood. After stripping use an alcohol based stain, apply a lacquer sealer, then apply black wood filler to fill in the pores . The black wood filler will need to be removed with naphtha and a cloth but will cover most of the stock with a very dark color, but the grain will still be showing. Then finish with a tinted lacquer. You can pick almost any color, but Pre-64 Win is Burnt Umber and others use a Light Walnut. You can purchase all of these products at Mohawk Finishes. If you use a tinted lacquer you will still see the wood grain and multiple coats can be applied in one afternoon. The beauty of a lacquer is there is no surface prep between coats.
