A new neighbour wishes to restore the oak panelling in his hall - the
house was once owned by a coffin maker. ;-)

When I first saw it many years ago it was stained very dark - near
black. The next owner painted it white.

The present one wants it back to natural, but even after sanding
there are traces of the original stain - and the intricate mouldings
make sanding difficult without damage. Any tips?

Hah! you've taken on a job you wished you hadn't now. :-(

For thr intricate Nitromors and a dremel drill or similiar, using the brass
conical bit, this is so fine and soft it won't gouge the wood, put drill on
slowest speed.
Providing you have a dremel that is?
