Like the title says, I've got quite a bit of 3x12 and 3x16 rough sawn joists salvaged from a building that was constructed about 1860. I'd like to re-use these in another project where they would be exposed. Problem is they are pretty much black, I could run them through a planer but that would make smooth lumber, they look good just they way they are except for the dark color. Ideally I'd like to find a way to bleach them or lighten them up a bunch and then seal them. This would have to be something I could do on a large scale because I have so many. Any hand scrubbing would be out I would think.
