Tom I'm in the middle of refinishing my cabin sole. 1 You're a lucky guy 2 It is veneer. Do NOT use a belt sander. I'd strip it with something like CitriStrip. Its not toxic or smelly. If necessary, use a random sander, or just hand sand it. 3 If there are discolored sections use Oxalic acid to bleach it. You only need a quart of HOT water. The instructions may be to mix a gallon. Don't waste your money. 4 I don't think the Minwax products are for outdoor use.
