Only done bowls, but they look very nice when wet sanded with natural Danish oil
and buffed..

I prefer glossy for highly figured woods.

I like airbrush sprayed blond de-waxed shellac with a sprayed poly top-
coat. 3 or 4 coats of shellac and 3-12 coats of poly. These are very
light airbrush coats, lighter than you can get by hand brushing or wipe
on.

I have never tried to stain lacewood, so I dont know about that. But
have used shellac and danish oil both. I like the beauty of the wood
to show through.
Lacewood took both finishes well and looked extremely good.
