I might check into soda blasting.  That is the medium I was thinking wouldn't hurt it.  Upon further examination it looks like only part of it was sanded.  Just the left hand side in the front where the oak is on a diagonal.  

 I'm looking at either media blasting or stripper.  Just not sure which stripper to use.  Sanding looks very labor intensive in some areas.   I am open to suggestions.

Also looking for ideas for the water stain.  I took a piece of 600 grit paper to it and it takes a little off of the water stain.  I've heard a lot of different solutions to water stains and am open to any ideas.

Is there anyone or any place that might know what woods and veneers are used in this cabinet?  Looks like oak on the front. The side pieces on the front might be cherry?  The bottom I am unsure of also.  The sides and the rest look to be mahogany veneer.  I have no idea about the stripes?  Tiger oak?

Any help is very much appreciated.
