So today I machined my draw faces, sides and some other items.
the draw faces are maple, the sides poplar. These will be for lateral
files..
Well while gluing up I cut my knuckle... I didn't notice it. But after a
while I started seeing RED literally all over the wood. I sucked the
blood off the knuckle and continued to clamp the multiple draw faces up.
Now trying to get the boards aligned... damn red everywhere. This little
cut was gushing.
So after it's all clamped I start with water... not coming out. Then
alcohol... better but not great.
Hopefully when I finish thicknessing the staining will be gone.
Maple's hard... and maybe it didn't go deep. But if it did, will
Oxalic acid clean off the blood from the maple?

In 1989 I was building maple tool boxes, four of them for Christmas
presents while I was on vacation. I cut half my thumb off and got blood
on the maple. It will eventually turn very dark with no color.
So while that is not much better, it is better than red! :~)

I was thinking alongthose same lines. Anyone ever seen the Red Violin?

-------------------------------
Don't know if Oxalic acid will work but the standard for getting blood
out is to soak it in salt water followed by soak in clear water.

Peroxide and COLD water. Hot water sets the
proteins in blood. Peroxide doesn't work, dye
the sucker with red Transfast. Or more blood --
a pint should cover 30, 40 square feet and won't
leave you feeling too light-headed.

Now you've done it. The only recourse is to draw enough blood to do an even
stain job. It might be your life's work. :)

Should try hydrogen peroxide to remove blood. WW

30% H2O2 is the most concentrated that is relatively easily obtainable, but
even 3% is a pretty good oxidator.

No idea but sand paper will.

ROTFL!
The other guy (stick?) is lucky, too.
DiHydrogen Monoxide has been known to kill many people, no matter what
state it is in: liquid, gas, or solid.

Great, that's not what I want. But I will be staining or dyeing this.
There's some figure so I'll see how a sample looks with dye.
But I need to get rid of the DARK blotch that will occur.
I'll try the Peroxide... Not sure I want to add salt water to the
equation... But if the peroxide doesn't work I'll try that.
Thanks guys.
