Subject: Wood restoration question

I've got some wood I recovered last year, parts of a musket stock
from the Civil War era.  I've already put it thru the Muriatic
Acid soak, and then many months soaking in PEG, and its now
free of crud and presumably strengthened.  My question for
now is that the wood is still black, is there anything I can
go about that (it was encrusted in black crud) ?  I have it
soaking in fresh water again, until I decide what to do (if anything)
further before taking it out to dry air.

Thanks for any info.  
Mike
