How’s this plan?
Picked up this old butlers style swing door that I am hoping to refinish to a sealed wood finish. First step I am looking to take out the glass… it looks like it is framed in with molding with pin nails. Are there certain pry tools that are small enough to work the best here? My usual brut force with a screwdriver or scraper probably isn’t the best bet haha.
Once the glass is out I need to rip about an inch off the top. From there I would sand (paint doesn’t look to thick so going this route instead of stripper) - would use a sponge type sand for the moldings, and then seal (few coats of water based poly). Glass back in and reframe with pin nails.
Sound like a plan? Anything I am missing? First time refinishing something like this.
Thanks in advance!!!
