OK, I have a stripped pine door. The only one of several that I bought, that fits my bathroom doorway.
I copied what I'd done in the last house, and put some raw linseed oil into it. In the last house it turned the doors a lovely golden colour. This one, however, has just gone dark. Anyway, when dry I wax polished it.
I've now decided that I want a natural wood colour door there, to match the others I've now put in, which are plain stripped pine, waxed.
I've tried sanding the door back, but of course it's covered in wax, and impregnated with linseed - raw, not boiled, so it hasn't gone really hard - but it clogs the sandpaper and will take forever to do.
Can anyone suggest a way to remove this finish and get back to natural pine? I thought of sending it to be dipped, or blathering it in caustic soda.
The alternative is to use another door, but this will involve not only restoring another knackered old stripped door from my stock, but bastardising two other doors for panels for it.
