Bought a Danish dresser from Craigslist that had a glossy oil polyurethane finish. It's probably about thirty years old. I planned on refinishing it by chemically stripping the finish coat with steel wool, re-staining in a different color, and then sealing it with a satin polyurethane. I started today and noticed its going to be very difficult to remove the existing varnish with steel wool, because I suspect there are three coats of it on there. That leaves me with hand-sanding or power sanding, but the drawers have a veneer on top of solid wood, which risks sanding through. So I'll probably have to sand it by hand with a much finer grade paper that I'd want, which will take forever, and I'll have to do it outside in the cold over a couple days, bringing it back inside after each day. Otherwise it will get stolen. Once it's sanded, then it will probably need a coat of conditioner, two coats of stain, and then finishing sealer. We're talking a lot of work.
