As a
reminder here are few before pictures-
To strip the paint off the spindles I went through 2 gallons of
paint stripper. Stripping the paint, required patience and repeated applications. I found that putting the stripper on thick worked best. Once the paint was removed, I sanded each spindle smooth before applying the stain.
For best results, do not go against the grain.
The spindles and frames were stained with Minwax, Jacobean. I love the color! It took a few days for the stain to dry and the house to be completely rid of the smell.
And after all that hard work, I am very pleased with the results!
