Cracks in 10-Year Old Lacquer
#2

Do you know if the refinisher stripped the cabinet? It could be a case where he just coated new lacquer on top of the old. The cracks may be in the original lacquer and now coming through the new top coat.

If not, then the only thing that causes cracks is expansion or contraction of the wood or lacquer itself. What kind of enviroment has the set been subjected to? Extreme heat or cold, or dryness can do it.
