I made a maple violin stand for a customer who just wanted a gloss/poly finish, no stain. No he wants me to "strip" the poly spray finish and then stain the maple to match his violin. I'm not sure what to use or if it's even the way to go. I don't want to spend more time taking the finish off then just making him a new stand. I don't want to experiment on his stand so thought some of experts would know.
