Removing the varnish from the back of the stave

<< < (2/2)

KamloopsPrairieBoy:
Thank you very much.  I bought the lacquer thinner before I saw the last post - but the bow back is now clean. Need to take 2 slight twists out of it, treat and seal it, and I plan to put a rawhide handle on it.  Should be ready to string soon.
Thanks

I use shellac exclusively. I only seem to have trouble removing it when it was applied to a green stave. I've wondered if the shellac mixes with the sap and that causes problems? I know it darkens more when used on green wood than it does used on dry wood.
