[QUOTE="Blackhorse, post: 385359, member: 1365"] Yeah...220 might be a bit coarse. And sure, treat the stamping very gingerly. The photo didn't show any evidence of lacquer, etc. but that would come off via the sanding. It looked, and the comments led me to believe, it was one of those virgin finishes. Even so, with handling, etc. I would think there would be oils, etc. on the exterior of the strummel and I would want to get a totally fresh surface. Some slight differences in procedure should produce the same result...a clean, smooth, fresh surface to work with. I would want to be below any oil taint as it would resist an even staining. Of course, nothing beats having an item in hand to see what one would be working with in person. That might lead to a difference in approach. But the basics are there...get the surface down to where it will take a stain evenly and go from there. Lots of good suggestions on this one. All of interest. [/QUOTE]
