what I find works, is if you grab some gasoline... soak a rag in it, and apply to the spot(s) where the paint is applied. You'll want to do this outdoors if possible, but opening up a window should suffice...
Remember to make sure the rags don't dry out while applying the gasoline. If you have a tonne of paint on this thing, you may just want to soak it all over in gas -- and just keep applying. Do this in the bathtub, with the drain plugged so you can recycle the gasoline you're pouring over it...
once it's soaked for about 5-10 minutes, you need to warm the area to get the paint free of the wood. Ideally, you should use a heat gun, but a butane lighter will suffice in a pinch.
Apply the heat to the areas that were soaked in the gasoline... this should loosen up the remaining paint without any need to wipe or scrub!
If you're doing this indoors, this is a good time to call 911.
