So, can we get a pic of the underside/construction?

I'm from the South - but please don't mistake my Southern Manners/Accent/Charm as a weakness!

I used stripper (mostly Red Devil) for years and never had any reaction to wood, especially oak. We often had to use TSP and water and a brass brush on tough pieces and the worst that happened is the stain wood come out and we would have to restain. This was when old paint was not desirable as it is today and oak was a hot commodity. Today it would not be worth the work.
