Have tried this before... I have a significant space constraint n kids... so using powerful chemicals is a nono in the house... if normal paint thinner cant do it I'll try carefully thats it... sand papering starts n I would slowly strip it down being careful to ensure that the form is not lost wth a good sand paper... then when I have cleared the paint... will give it a gd multiple treatment of wood oil before applying shellac... I shelac to thicker lackers...
