If you're trying to remove all of it and keep a natural finish you'll have to do major sanding with multi grit steps. I'm guessing you don't want to do that unless there's some sentimental value. The chemical solutions won't get it all and will raise the grain which will require sanding anyways. I would follow Descant's advice and paint.
