I have an old oak table with extra leaves which has been hanging round in the cellar for years. I want to strip it but don't know how. It has horrible dark brown stain and varnish on top. The legs are sort of bulbous.
I think it's probably Edwardian. My friend has a very similar one which she bought ready stripped and it looks lovely, a light oak with I presume some sort of matt varnish.
Would you or anyone else be able to recommend a paint stripper? Or should I have a go with my blowtorch thingy (not literally a blowtorch). Or I have an electric sander but will that go right through the stain?
Thanking you.
