hello,

i am new here and am trying to get help with a problem.i make pool cues and i have one that is ready for sealer and finish,but after final sanding the handle which is Bois De Rose developed small tanninsh colored spots in the surface.Bois De Rose has a surface that almost looks like it has lots of checks but it isn't.i assume they are some type of mineral deposits.how do i get rid of them or camoflauge them?thanks.

Welcome aboard, Mason. Which Nashville? Illinois? Tennessee? Georgia? None listed in my Australia gazetteer. You can edit your User CP to include more detail(s) as you see fit.

Attempts to disguise or camouflage natural "imperfections" are seldom successful. Usually better to exploit them as "design features."

G'day mason welcome tothe madhouse and its collection of ratbags, miscreants, wise ones, helpful ones and assorted other charaters.:D:D:D
Can't offer a lot of help on your problem but if it is anatural feature of the timber then why worry. It is what it is. As our previous poster says, make a feature out of it. Cheers:2tsup::2tsup:
