I've tried using Watco spray lacquer a few times, but had trouble with runs. That's why I tried wipe-on poly with this project. I just picked up a can of lacquer to try brushing it on with my next project.

I had concerns sbout stripping the poly too, but CitriStrip takes it right off - no problem.
