I have just received a bunch of free wood. Alot of it is really nice mahogany. But it is stained and clearcoated with something, It's finished.
I want to strip it down to raw wood again, but hate doing chemical stripping. Can I just run it through a planer?, assuming I metal detect it to make sure there are no nails or screws in it?
Will the finish wreck the blades? Ridgid 13" planer with carbide blades.
Thanks.
