The flaking is the deteriorated lacquer...

There is good grain filler underneath, as can be seen in the excellent closeup photos. If a stripper is used the is a good chance of extracting some if not most of the filler. Then more filler several coats of lacquer will be needed to build up and rub off to get a smooth finish.

A re-amalgamator product would be a better choice like Howard's. It will soften and re-flow the original finish. Choose the correct color of the product... Often a one step process... chas
