Stripping & Sanding Progress

Saying goodbye to the decal. Fortunately I re-created it as a vector file to produce a new decal (below)





Re-created decal.

After the finish was removed, I sand off the remaining stain revealing the gorgeous mahogany veneer. It will be re-stained and finished.

Here's two of the smaller pieces before & after sanding.
Finished sanding the top lid.  Looking good so far.
Original stain versus freshly sanded bare mahogany. Mahogany is so nice to work with. It sands nicely without the feeling that you'll sand right through the veneer.  So far I've been lucky not to have sanded through.

All the sanded pieces so far. I almost have all the removable pieces ready for stain. The piano cabinet will be the most work as far as stripping & sanding. These were easy compared to what's ahead.
