Hello -

I had an interesting result after resawing some beech barn beams to
make some small boxes. In additions to some spalting, there were
several areas that had pink to red discolorations, almost like iodine
stains. Have any of you seen such a thing, and what is the cause? Would
you / could you remove the stains? BTW, I also saw similar stains in
some oak beams. Thanks for your responses...
