Soundboard bleaching

Normally, after shimming a cracked soundboard we simply delight in the
contrast of carefully fitted new spruce shims next to aged soundboard wood.
However, we are rebuilding a 1926 Heintzman 7' grand and would like to
achieve more uniformity in color on the shimmed board.

Anyone care to share opinions, experiences, techniques and sources of
supply re: bleaching of soundboards prior to refinishing?
