--Previous Message-- : Thank you for your response. In your message, : you mentioned stripping it. Is stripping : it using chemicals to remove paint, etc. : or is it a deep sanding that would need to : be done? : I'm just looking for anyway to be able to get : this wood looking beautiful again. : Thanks again! : --Previous Message-- : This type of finish was very popular 50 years : ago. Unfortunately, as your expert has : said, it is practically impossible to : reverse and gain good results. The reason : is that the wood is not just bleached, it : is also coated with a light color of : paint, usually cream, to make it even : lighter and then finished. It's the paint : on the raw wood which is so difficult, : especially with oak because of the large : open pours. The only way to darken it : without stripping first, is to add a : tinted transparent finish which would have : to be professionally spray applied to : ensure even color. : : :
