Hope the picture is not too big.
Bought this old bench and would appreciate some advice, tips or suggestions from you expert folk.
I dont know what to do now.
Not pictured but I just tried wood stripper on the front edge and legs but it didnt work. Left it on for 15 mins then another coat of stripper and left for 40mins +, the brown paint is still there just roughed up a bit lol.
Would sanding to bare wood be the best bet now?
Not sure whether to stain or oil, the seller said it was oak but I dont know.
Dont want to paint it as I like the natural look. Just need to know the best way to protect the wood.
The paint is in good nick underneath and I was thinking of leaving it as is.
Thanks for your help.
