What stain and clear coat options are available/commonly used?
I use Minwax stains and 4 coats of Lacquer for my finish. I offer gloss and satin and 99% of my clients choose satin which is my personal preference as well. The cabinet is “eye candy”. The guns inside should be the focus and many stocks have a gloss that really attracts the attention to the contents. My clients tell me that when they sit back from a long day’s work, or have time to just be around their cabinet they are reminded of the many enjoyable days they spent afield with family and friends or on a special hunt. That is one of biggest reasons they choose a wooden gun cabinet.
