I am building a TV stand for our new slim TV. I originally thought I would buy a nice oak or maple plywood sheet from the local cabinet supply house and finish it with a stain and poly. But my wife informed me today that she wants a glossy Black laquer to match the new TV. So I bought the China Birch which is much cheaper.
Can anyone tell me the proper way to finish this wood to make it look good? I am told to seal the wood before applying the laquer. But not sure what to seal it with. Also I will have to either roll or brush the laquer on. Is this okay to do? Should I do several light coats to avoid runs?
Any help will be appreciated and thanks in advance.
Hopefully I can post a few pics when I get done.
