Storage cabinets used by a local school district before and after stripping. They are made of solid maple.

It is interesting to discover what is hidden under paint. Sometimes it is a burn mark or some other type of damage, sometimes it is a beautiful wood grain, like this quarter sawn oak.

This chair had been painted and was stripped elsewhere. The customer knew it could be done better so brought it to us. You be the judge, how did we do at getting this chair clean?

A concern about immersion stripping that we periodically hear is that it will damage veneers or inlay. This set of nesting tables has mother of pearl inlay and came through the stripping process just fine. The wood is clean too!

This is a closer view of the door we picture on our "Paint Removal" page. It is clean, but you can see that there is still a trace of paint in the recesses of the trim around the center panel. We think the cost of getting that last little bit out exceeds any benefit gained.

Wicker is one of the most difficult materials to strip with all the surfaces and holes where paint or finish can be trapped. Our immersion system allows us to do this work well. The lower right photo is after stripping and before the finish was applied.
