We used bleach downstairs to get an even finish before applying the stain becuase the wood downstairs had originally been stained a very dark brown/black color. The upstairs had been originally painted, so we skipped the bleaching step. Go figure, huh? It is so strange that this happened. If anyone has other thoughts please post them here. We'd really LOVE to figure out why/how this happened. We actually didn’t bleach the upstairs woodwork.

I recall you have a particular staining "recipe" you've developed for the bare fir and stick with. Remind us readers what that formula is... I'm also wondering if that area is exposed to sunlight during the day. Various and sundry stain products do or don't have UV resitance formulated into the mix. Happy Holidays, Willy & Sara Wow.
