    FWIW, any of the Poplar I have used (usually sourced from Pennsylvania) seems to yellow considerably when A & B beach touches it..

    Well, I'm probably going to start learning how to do that today so we'll see what happens. If it doesn't work I guess I'll be looking for another option.

    It's not complicated - wood bleach. Hard maple holds detail and withstands knocking about, it's not difficult to machine with sharp tools and good technique. Stay the course.

    Maybe, but I'm pretty much committed to the poplar this time around.

    Does this mean I will have to apply both A and B again or only B?

    This may be true but I sure can't do it. Switching back to maple tomorrow. There's starting to be a chance that I'm going to run out of time. Yeesh.
