Very Punny Kenny,

"I will say this, If you use Oven cleaner for stripper, Gojo for a wood moisturizer , Howard's "Ignore a finish", or Polyurethane. And you are satisfied with these ?,.. then you won't be needing my help, I don't practice those applications."

Yeah I am not a fan of those ideas. Never tried oven cleaner but I like to hand sand most of the time unless there are detailed pieces or legs..
UGH legs stink, Icon_lol

I just finished collecting and placing every piece of old veneer and will glue today after some appts. Only missing a few pieces though. I think I may need to go very dark on the finish, like black toner due to water stains and very dark spots.
