21__Front_post_sanding.jpg
 Immediately after sanding16 viewsI tried 2 different strippers, neither of which touched the finish and so I sanded it off to the bare wood. This revealed quite a nice piece of maple, but without any figuring whatsoever, which is not surprising as it was intended to be covered in solid black.tone256Aug 28, 2017
