Got an antique piece of furniture. Grandparents old sideboard cabinet. Elbow grease can sand away a lot. But I want it done right. Especially the legs which have quite a bit of lathe work done.
A. What's the best product?
B. Ease of use and amount of fumes?
C. Would you guys use a product like this on old wood in the first place?
I am removing old abused stain that was put on probably 100 years ago. FYI

I'd pine for a wooden stripper.

Red devil lye mixed with cornstarch and a little water to form a paste will remove anything. You need to rinse it off with the hose. Gloves and eye protection are a must.

If it looks like the finish is bubbling, that's desired in old furniture.

I know a few furniture repair/restore guys. They use this instead of the weak "furniture grade" removers.
Fumes are bad, so outside only. Don't let it sit too long.

Is this related to the Miss Flora-Bama thread?

You probably want to find a furniture restorer with a tank to dip the piece.
Money spent doing that will save you hours.

Dad's easy spray. Wear gloves and protective glasses. If it gets on your skin it burns like hell. Flush with water. After the Poly or varnish bubbles up, scrape it off with a scraper. You will also need to sand in tight places. You're welcome.
