The only other furniture restoration project that's taken longer than this one had 7 layers of paint on it. That's why when I accessed this job with one layer of paint, I thought it would be a breeze. Wrong. Oak slurps down paint and it's very difficult to strip. Do I sound like I'm whining? Take a look at the before and after photos and you'll see how happy I am.
