That is not to say that it is "decomposing". Not at all. Iv'e discovered that some elbow grease applied with a sander (Other more experienced will chime in hopefully soon) will remove said grey mottling. Exposed, should be a light golden wood. Apply poly to it and it stays golden. I use a flap wheel on a straight neck grinder. I can finish an eight foot length of 4 in. Boo in about a half hr. Mahalo and welcome to TC. For those that don't know you.
