    Default Marri Veneer Water Stain

    Does any-one have any ideas about how to remove grey staining from Marri veneer?
    I suspect that it's water staining as the stain appears on every leaf throughout the whole pack of veneer.

    Default Marri stain

    Hi Ian,
    When I used to mill Marri I would often notice some sort of spalting(fungal infection)
    Through parts of the tree as I milled it and it is my opinion that there is some sort of symbiosis happening as the tree is growing.
    What I am saying is Marri is very very susceptible to fungal attack and probably has spores ready to germinate upon contact with water.
    Your timber may have come from a tree that was already infected but didn`t show until the timber got wet again or it was there all the time .
    Either way my guess is your stuck with the stain - so maybe use it as a feature or send it back.
    Good luck
