Just a hint on stripping...apply the stripper, NOW wrap the piece in plastic wrap (trash bags work great) and let it sit, soak, and strip. The plastic keeps the stripper from drying out and makes it work much better. Just peel the plastic back and strip a few inches, repeat.

Junk credit cards make good scrapers, they won't scratch the wood. Wear good rubber gloves!

Now that is a good tip. The reason I read forum for!!!! That would have save me probably 7 applications of stipper. That Urethane layer is really thick. I tried Rosewood color it come out a little light on color but i actually prefer it to the darker zebrano...
