[quote=Anonymous]I've done it. Unless the underlying wood is something really special it's just not worth it. One thing you'll find is that over the course of 100 years the wood will get lots of holes in it from things like doorstops being put in, wiring, just dings. They all get filled with putty and painted and looks fine. Then you strip the paint and you realize there are all kids of putty-filled holes. That said, in my old house (c. 1875) there was a wainscotting in the entry hall that had been painted purple. I stripped all the paint and underneath it was black walnut and oak. Looked great. But it was a lot of work. [/quote]
