There is a chemical method of removing it, nitro-glycerine, although
there won't be much left. I have tried everything on it including car
paint stripper, household paint stripper. Sanding..
The best method is a scalpel blade, you have to chip a bit off, and lift
it up from there, slowly taking your time. As long as the blade is
sharp, it doesn't notice if you go into the wood slightly. I then used
exterior polyurethane ship varnish, and I put to much on at once, I took
couple of months to dry to a point where it could be sanded down to a
smooth finish.
You need very thin coats, let them dry for a day, wet 'n' dry up and
repeat until you have a good thickness.
The result are well worth the effort you put in.
