How can I remove the paint off this jewelry box more effectively?

My gma gave me her old jewelry box and during covid when painting everything you own was popular i decided to paint it all white and now im trying to restore it back to its natural wood finish but im struggling to get the paint off. I’ve used acetone but it’s not doing a good job at actually taking off the paint (acrylic) and i’ve tried microfiber cloth and qtips and cotton pads. The acetone just liquifies the paint and then it smears and dries super fast so it’s not really lifting it. I already did a good portion of it but i want to get this done faster. Thank you in advance! submitted by /u/No-Tart-6920 [link] [comments]
