Summary

[edit]
Description

I used normal paint stripper and took off two layers of old oil based paint and then reached a layer of white paint that the stripper would not soften. 

It must have been milk paint.  Under the milk paint was many layers of very

dark shellac. By this time I could see that the wood was tiger maple (figured 

curly).  I used very fine steel wool and alcohol to remove the last layers of

shellac so the wood would not be damaged with sandpaper, stripper or scraper blade. The wood is solid maple except for the drawer front that is veneer over pine. The veneer is an unusual combination of Birdseye/figured maple. Finished

with two coats of shellac. You can feel as well as see the stripes in the wood.
