This table was made using a Narra door from my father-in-law's old office and bar stools from my sister's old pub.
Stripping the door took a lot of work, but it's always worth it in the end when you see the bare wood. Hard as that was, it was a piece of cake compared to the work stripping the metal stool entailed.
Unless you are dead serious about your project, trust me, do not strip the metal. See that gunk? That's just from one stool, and not all of it.
Yet, after all the frustrations, I love my table. It has style and history. That makes it so much more valuable.
