This is a rebuilt projest it was white new and I notice by looking under the chairs that it was hard maple painted at the factory white so I took it all apart I had just a big pill of wood , used some remover and a lot of sanding than I glued everything back together and varnish everything by hand , I am telling you it was a big job I would not do it again I would build one…... I made the mistake of not taking a photo when it was all apart.

You wonder why anyone would hide such beautiful wood. That must have been a huge amount of work but it was worth it.

What a beautiful restoration project. You did a wonderful job on this. It must have been have been a nice surprize when you saw what was under the paint. Thanks for posting.

God Bless

This is a beautiful refinishing job. It is so nice to take a piece of furniture and transform it like this. I simply cannot understand why anyone would want to paint a beautiful furniture set like this but you have done a masterful job of restoring it.

Thanks for the post.

Great work, you have more endurance than I, tried to redo a painted rocker one time. Must off had 5 different coats of paint. Tried the stripper and all I had was a big glob of Goo, what a mess. GMan you keep up the terrific work, look forward in seeing your projects. Your brother in woodworking John

My daughter found a great big rocking chair in a garage sale and fell in love with , she bought it , it was painted blue and she started to remove the blue and under was 2 more coats a brown and another color kind of pink and she finaly got to the wood then she varnished it what a nice chair but I cannot tell what kind of wood it is , it is a very old chair..maybe if I post a photo of it someone could tell me the kind of wood it is.
