Refinishing my 40-180 cabinet
#1

I am refinishing my cabinet and have sanded it down to bare wood. I'm going to be using Mohawk toner lacquer medium walnut. My question is
what prep work I should be using. Should I use a sanding sealer or wood filler? Or should I just use  thinned down shellac instead before I apply
the toner lacquer?  Also should I be using a dye based lacquer or pigment based lacquer? Or both? I've been trying to research this stuff, especially
the wood filler, sanding sealer or thinned down clear shellac. I'm still confused. Icon_crazy   I could really use some tips and suggestions from someone that
is knowledgeable in woodworking and refinishing.  Some might say that I should have left the old finish on and just clean it, but it's too late for that
now, and I want it to really look nice like new.  I just finished restoring the radio chassis and added an Alexa interface to listen to the old music and
it sounds wonderful.
                                  Thanks,  Fred Martin
