I've turned a large platter from a slice off the base of an alder tree (I'm told) and I don't really like the pinkish blotchy colour of some of the growth rings.
Has anyone any experience with bleaching the colour out of timber? What is required?
I suppose my other choice is to stain the platter a darker colour, but I prefer it to be light, as it has a dark natural edge which would then not be as prominent.
Cheers,
