I am going to be refinishing a bedroom set for my son. I appears if the finish is "worn off" in some areas. I took a sharpened scraper to a section and the finish flaked right off into a dust and I can see the unfinished wood underneath.

I have tested for lead and it came back negative.

Question - What kind of finish do you think that it is? I was thinking laquer or something of the sort?

Question - How do I proceed with the refinshing process in terms of removing the rest of the finish?

Pictures available upon request to help me solve the problem.

Thanks,
Chuck
