It took a while but after a long winter I was finally able to get to my 41-290 and get it ready for lacquer/toner. I used one of the restorer products that disolves the finish and leaves the stain. If I had to do it over again, I would have made a stronger effort at saving the existing finish, but too late now. Anyway, the 41-290 looks as if it had a very nice combination of light and dark walnut toner applied with certain soft shading on the front grill and sides. What are the best toners to use and which colors should I get? I was thinking of using Master's Behlen light walnut and also their dark walnut to obtain the proper shading. Are Mohawk products better, and if so, which colors (tones) should I get.
Also, since I didn't use a stripper, can I get away with using sanding sealer, then clear lacquer for the base coat to fill any grain/pores, or should I go ahead and use a grain filler. Any other tips or advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks Much!
