If you go with the second method, you can either buy the concentrated Hydrogen Peroxide through a wood finishing supply house, or concentrate your own by reducing the commonly available 3% HP by 90%. (Gentle Simmer) If only doing a stock or two, it's probably the easiest.

Another specific wood bleach is Oxalic Acid. Not as drastic as the Lye/HP route, and is available in "Deck Wash" type products. If you buy the concentrated product you can manipulate the concentration to suit your needs.

Be sure you have a plan to stain the stock afterwards.

I prefer wood to plastic, leather to nylon, waxed cotton to Gore-Tex, and split bamboo to graphite.
