Next, I went over it with 220 grit on the random orbital sander to remove what was left. Result? Bare wood, but it will never be totally clear of the old residue. Hence a trip to Menards, for 3 rolls of very nice cherry veneer. Once all the old stuff has been stripped off I will apply the veneer, stain, then clear poly till it looks like glass. All the brass will be hand polished and reinstalled, the end result I hope will be a stunning cabinet that will dazzle anyone who sees it.
