CleanUp Old Oak Barrel

[nevems2]

Have an old oak barrel I am using to build a patio bar. Barrel was stained and finished at one time. Is not heavily weathered, generally gray in color. Want to clean it up and re-stain and finish it. Any suggestions on cleaning it up?

Thanks MB

Any stripper containing methylene chloride should work fine for removing the old finish and stain.
