I've just bought some old dining chairs on ebay. They need restoring, but they only cost twenty quid including a table, so there's not a huge amount riding on the project.
I've no idea what the wood is, but they are reasonably dark and finished with a fairly shiny varnish. They don't have to be perfect so I'm wondering if there's any alternative to sanding them down completely, which would obviously be a lot of work given the curvy nature of the legs and backrests.
I've forgotten how to put photos in, so there's a link to one on flickr.
