I just finished stripping a very old oak, five drawer dresser that has been in my wife's family for at least 80 years. Stripping was done with Zip Strip and alcohol wash.
Under a thick coat of paint and old varnish/shellac I found a large ink satin (it sure looks like very dark ink) that is "in the wood" on the top of the dresser.
Before I start with the Clorox approach, wanted to get some advise from this newsgroup.
Any help would be appreciated.
