A few years ago I made an oak dresser to match some existing furniture in
the bedroom. The furniture is now replaced by new furniture with a darker
cherry finish. When I did the oak dresser I put on some stain to match the
old furniture and two coats of poly. I would like to refinish the dresser I
made but it will be very hard to sand off the poly due to the shape of the
drawers (not simple flat surfaces). Do I have any choices or must I get that
poly off? I would like to put on a dye to cover up the oak grain as best I
can but I doubt I can just put that down on poly. Any ideas would be greatly
appreciated.

It won't be that bad getting thru the poly, you can get rubber blocks
for sanding the profiles, such as these:

Cut a strip of 60 grit equal to the length of the block, wrap it
around starting at one end of the strip. Then you just shift the
paper over a bit frequently. Inside corners are the only real
problem.

Be a lot more fun to make a new one though.
