And since the lacquer is just a clear film coat, it shouldn't do anything to mask the grain popping. dewaxed shellac will bind to just about anything.

I was also unsure if the lacquer would hid the grain that I just tried to pop or if I need to go with an oil bast varnish.

This can help the color bind to the wood better. Again, for this process it probably doesn't make a huge difference.

I keep coming back to it when I think about finishing my project. I didn't pick up why you use shellac. Is there an advantage over straight denatured alcohol for what you want to achieve?

It was done mainly because it was cheaper then than the oak was, so it became necessary to compete business wise. The same type of affect is done now on car dashes etc. when a very expensive burl is desired on a car, without the cost. i have pics but new here, so i hope WW will tell me how to post them when he reads this ok?

Some are not only toxic but carcinogenic. Many times, a particular color can be reached (or a close variation) with much less dangerous ingredients.

Apply your dye to the wood first, let dry then apply your oil for best penetration wipe all the excess off and let dry 24 hours then apply your shellac at a 1 lb. cut let dry/sand 320/lightly but smooth then come back with your poly finish or varnish skip any tri-mixes of oil/varnish/thinner, and just use a straight poly or varnish thinned just a little if necessary for flow and leveling if brushing. If not you can spray it straight out of the can. or with a spray can. Make sure your using sealcoat or freshly made dewaxed flakes. sealcoat for poly / dewaxed flakes for oil varnish.
