Restoration of a 1949 door

5 layers of paint 😅 door stripper doesn't work well, but a heat gun works great. Finish with a carbon scraper and sand paper

There's a detailed router moulding that's tough to get paint out of. Some small dental tools and scrapers are useful for this

Looks pretty solid.

I was hoping it was all oak, but it's old growth pine and plywood 😅 post WW2 they started building houses w more plywood

Well it still looks pretty nice to me. Glad you're restoring it.
