5 years ago my wife and I contracted our own home. We obtained the stain for the woodwork from the custom cabinet company which provided the cabinets for the home (provided in mismatched often unmarked gallon cans). The stain smelled like lacquer, and in fact we ocasionally thinned it with lacquer solvent. The various woods in the home (oak, poplar, fir, and pine) all stained up similar colors with this stain. I want to refinish a dresser my wife had as a child, her father salvaged it from someone’s trash over 45 years ago, after service as a tool chest in his garage, he painted it white for my wife. It is currently stripped, and ready to finish, but as the chest was originaly painted, it is made of mahogany, and other parts are of light colored woods which would look poorly if it was stained with a standard oil based stain i:e minwax. I want to stain and finish this dresser for our daughter, rather than painting it again. Where can I obtain a lacquer based stain?
