I switched over to the 80 grit nylon brush to do the other side of the board, but after reviewing the pictures, I noticed that that side started out much lighter, so I thought it wouldn't be a fair comparison. I'm trying to find an easy way to lighten these boards (essentially removing the dark stain) so that I can either go with a clear finish or, in trendy "Chip and Joanna Gaines" style, whitewash them keeping them very light with just a bit of natural wood/knots showing through.
