<p>[QUOTE="verybrad, post: 1844734, member: 37"]This would be hard to refinish to anything pleasing. The original finish has a toner and speckling, that once removed, can not easily be replicated. The toning is particularly difficult to deal with. There will be places where it comes out and others where it resists stripping, leaving a very uneven look. Also not sure what the top coat is on this. Some of the modern lacquers are really hard to strip. Refinishing is probably best recommended for older pieces without sophisticated finishes. Paint would be the way to go with this one.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
