I am bumping this hoping someone wlll see and respond.

It's likely that much of the orange color is in the finish rather than in the wood, but you can only tell for sure by stripping one of the panels and seeing what you get. You can't use heat to strip these because you'd be liable to soften the glue. You can't use abrasives because you'd be liable to sand through the veneer. You might be able to use a cabinet scraper, except that it's a tricky tool to learn to use, requiring frequent sharpening. That leaves you with chemical strippers, which could be anything from solvent alcohol to heavy-duty paint stripper depending on the existing finish.

I suggest you narrow your inquiry and do a little research on various finish types and their appropriate solvents and strippers. I am not expert here, but you can get a can of alcohol (from the hardware store, not the drug store) and try that first -- it will work only if the existing finish is shellac. If it doesn't work, try a more potent solvent like lacquer thinner. Again, stripping and refinishing is not my forte. Hopefully someone else will fill in the spaces in my general outline.

Thank you jon. I appreciate the information.
