Mai Tai,
Nice doors, did you get them fixed up?

No, not yet. I've had several people come over and look at them, as well as talking to Kier Fullmer and her woodworking specialist over at the Trader Vic's warehouse. And the best solution we can think of to strip them is with a chemical stripper, either that citrus strip stuff, or Jasco. Even though the carved ironwood panels are pretty tough wood, if I use a power washer it could round off or remove most or all of the tooling marks, which are still heavily prominent. Same goes with if I did a light sanding on the areas tagged with graffiti, or if I dipped them. Right now, the doors are on the list of unfinished projects that I need to strip and refinish, including a 1950 Seeburg Jukebox, a coffee table, and some rattan furniture, as well as other unfinished projects including replacing the sliding glass door in my soon to be home bar area, as well as the entire home bar build out, and my rain window effect. I've got the time to work on them, I'm currently working on freeing up a permanent workspace area, I've got just about all of the materials, all I need is money. Anyone finish on that money printing press yet?
