Well fellas... The heat gun worked like a charm!
Tough to capture the bends/twists with a camera, but you've all been there..
Who knew I'd spend the weekend stripping ;) but here's my progress! Can't say it's absolutely prefect, but for a first shot at this (and for never really ever using a plane) it's looking pretty good - wife is even impressed!
One thing I didn't do which I might think about next time is get the rough cut wood planed down on the tops before cutting the strips. I can see how doing this might make the process a bit faster and cleaner. Have been taking time to hand plane each edge of each strip one by one..
