I picked up an old T-C New Englander that needs a new finish. What do you folks recommend for finish removal? (winter project)
Thanks.
Thanks.
You actually prove my point. Not everyone whiskers a stock, nor is there a need to if not using a stripper, which then requires washing off.The comment about all of the sanding work involved if you strip a stock is incorrect, the grain of the two stocks I stripped was raised about the same amount as if I whiskered the stock which I do 4 or 5 times anyway and before I apply a grain sealer to the stock and sand the sealer back to bare wood 3 or 4 times before I apply the final finish.
But knocking the whiskers off a stock is much simpler than rasping and scraping away the rasping lines. And no rasp is going near a stock that I intend to refinish only.You actually prove my point.

Nice job!!Sand, whisker a few times, apply sealer, apply True Oil.
