Hey Lonny! I don't remember the exact order I did that one in, I probably started by lightly pitting with bleach, just enought to give it some teeth, then browned it to death for a while , like for a week or so, no carding.
From there you can sand it back, and either let it color up on it's own for a while or hit it with some cold blue to darken the pits and low spots. I kind of watch what is happening and try to figure out what I need to do to keep things headed in the right direction
