Right thanks for the tips everyone. I’ll try some of these heavy duty scrapers then as the ones I’ve been using are old cheap steel ones. Getting the paint off the larger areas hasn’t been too hard, it’s the mouldings that are tricky and it’s just awkward getting to some bits.
I’m not sure what the wood is, but after getting through the paint and what looks like some sort of shellac type lacquer, the wood is reddish and hard as a rock.
