We have salvaged a dresser, but don't like the extremely dark colors.
Wiping the outside with alcohol, paint thinner or bleach only removes dirt,
but doesn't do anything to the dark stain. We also found that it was
partinally veneered with something "burly" - maple? The visible parts seem
to be either mahogany or cherry - grain almost like oak, somewhat splintery
and somewhat reddish. We would like to get it as light as possible, but I
do like the burl pattern. Picture attached (also on abpw), hopefully just
as jpg
