I just purchased and old hand hewn beam that I put in my new loft. It was reclaimed from an old barn. It is aged and dirty. Can I just bleach and then stain it? It is already installed and we want to finish it right. It is 12′ by 13” by 8” so it is a hefty showcase beam. should i then coat it with linseed oil? Totally at a loss as to how to finish it as a piece of beauty.
