Ok...I just finished sanding my redwood walls (previously stained, I
think - or "washed" with a lighter color)...anyway, now I want to
restain it. Originally I was going light - like, white. But now I am
considering something else - like dark (red or something bold). In
case I end up hating it...is there a reversal process to lighten it.
Would I ever be able to "whitewash" (or stain) it again?

An oil finish should bring out a reddish brown color in redwood.
You can always wash it again with a light color.
You just performed the reversal process.
