Transparent stain on oud

Loulia - 12-23-2010 at 01:38 AM

Hello,

My oud has a strange transparent stain on it. When I look at it from one angle, I see like a pale transparent white cloudy stain. However, when I look at it from another angle, the color seems unchanged.

Can someone tell me what the stain is and how I can get rid of it?

I have a similar stain on a Syrian wood chest.

The oud is Egyptian with a shiny finish and the chest is shiny too.

Thank you!
