[Woodworkers] Baking Soda blasting

[Roy Shrove via Woodworkers]

Another option to consider is carbon dioxide (dry ice) blasting.   Have seen it used to restore antique books with flood damage as well as mold remediation.   Works great, super "green" and has a short learning curve.

I am in the middle of a roll top desk refinishing project.  Because of this desk being all oak veneer I am not using a stripper for fear of it lifting the veneer, so, we're scraping the finish off.

My question here deals with the tambour door - the slats have a really goofy profile, which would make scraping really difficult and certainly very time consuming.

The wood making up the door is solid oak - does anyone have first hand knowledge of using soda as a blasting media on wood without it being harsh.

Further, I don't want to use a stripper on this door for fear of harming the canvas fabic.

That is all.
