I needed to refinish my 28 ga. after I repaired a broken wrist. I used some kind of chemical stripper (Zip-Strip? Strip-Ease?) and went over it a couple of times. Not too difficult, but time consuming. Leave it on thick for a long time. Be careful with plastic scrapers. The wood gets soft with the chemical stripper on there and it is not hard to gouge it. I used Tru Oil and I love the look.
The first pic is 2 Garbis and the 28 ga. Repro., all finished with Tru Oil. The second pic is the Repro, which could use another coat or 2 of finish. Easy to add.
I'm very happy with the broken wrist repair on the Repro. I bet you can't see where it broke in half through the wrist checkering right behind the tangs.
