Working on my Dad's old radio as a present for my daughter. Am just doing the cabinet. Have already taken the old finish off with a remover that does not take the stain off. Came out looking great except for the feet that could use a little coloring.I am used to rubbing in a tung oil varnish product at the end rather than work with lacquer finishes and doing several coats. Would prefer not using a toning lacquer if possible as the wood doesn't look like it needs toning. I don't like spraying finishes because they could go on unevenly and I don't like to change the original stain color when I can uncover it with the finish remover. Is the lacquer usually used on this radio a satin or glossy finish? What type of wood veneer is on this radio? Is it mahogany or walnut? Thanks.
