The quick drying lacquer thinner keeps the stain on the surface. Dries, then sanded with 400 until I get the look I like. Then 2 coats of automotive urethane. Let dry overnight. Sand smooth and apply 2 more coats. I experimented last winter and perfected the process.

Thank You, I used some minwax stain so will see what happens when I clear it. I am trying to keep this project on the simple side plus I am not experienced with this. Thank you for the rundown on what you did. Steve
