Home refins.

Hi
The problem generally isn't the stain, it's the poly or nitro varnish. The good news for most of us is that it's as tough as old boots. The bad news is that it is an absolute beggar to get off. For my refurbs, I quite often resort to a paint-stripping heatgun (and then a hell of a lot of sanding)!!

I guess my comments were partly based on this thread: [url="http://forum.warwick.de/10-warwick-bass/13317-just-got-want-refinish-help.html"]http://forum.warwick.de/10-warwick-bass/13317-just-got-want-refinish-help.html[/url]
from which I'd expect the stain to be a problem as well, depending on the wood.

You're right about ash having a very open grain, and this is bad news for your plans. I think The reason that ash is such a popular choice for staining is that you get such vivid grain definition, as the stain gets right into the large contours. Unfortunately, that the means it's harder to remove too from those contours too. Not impossible, but much more time consuming.
