Advice on stripping unknown finish

<< < (2/2)

Twisted Trees:
Sorry got grandchild distracted!

I do use Meths but am pretty sure this is not shellac finish, having  plenty of wall thickness I am going with the light scrapper then abrasive on this one, if it was thin walled then I would go with the solvent / chemical generally after cleaning a piece pn the base to see what works out of eye sight first!

This as I said is not a professional piece, has a screwed on plinth to hide the scruffy way it was attached to the faceplate! and that plinth was a solitaire board before it was used as a plinth! just need to put a small bead on that to hide the fact it has been dropped, then I will re-attach with a bit more care than was used previously.

Got grandchild for the rest of the week, but will put up a picture or 2 when it is done.
