Completely agree with above responses. You're likely to either wear through the veneer if you sand or end up with a blotchy, uneven stain job if you strip. Paint is a better option if you want a predictable outcome. It's not impossible to do what you want to do, but it is a job that takes woodworking finesse.
Anyone refinished a plinth?
I have a Thorens TD 160 on the way. It has what I assume is a plinth made of particle board (?) with a thin wood veneer on top. I'd like to get a black finish with some of the wood grain showing. What are the steps? I assume starting off with a very careful sanding of the veneer to get the gloss off, and then begin the staining process?
Let me know if this is something not for the novice.
Thanks.
