Has anyone ever tried stripping Oak kitchen cabinets with a powerwasher?

[riotralph]

I want to strip and restain my kitchen cabinets.
Ok, so I had this idea that I might be able to apply a commercial stripper (polystrip or Circa) to the cabinets and proceed to powerwash the stain off. Has anyone tried something like this? Would it raise the grain of the Oak to much?

Shouldn't this be in the joke section of shoot the bull?

If you were serious about this all of the water would cause the wood to swell, and glue joints to weaken.

True true..alot to worry about in way of glue or swelling and warping veneers or thin doors.
A stripper meant for interior varathane, conversion varnish, or polyurethane doesn't overwet deep in the wood as a washer would do.
If these cabinets are totally solid with good fasteners though..go for it.Their not usually..
