Hi

Anyone know if its possible to remove/minimise what appear to be some sort of stain/mineral deposits from ASH?

Make for unsightly marks... :( , not sure what they are, but impossible to sand out and just bad luck I guess? idunno

Wood bleach. Check your local hardware or paint store, they should have it.

Should be available in liquid form, or you could buy some oxalic acid crystals, add water, etc.

I like little blemishes like that.
Most people don't.
