I'm restoring an old steamed-dowel teak table and chairs . I oil soaped it , and am staining with minwax . Should I put clear acrylic over the stain ?

I would still avoid shellac. Both for the hard shell aspect, and it has horrible chemical resistance qualities. An alcohol spill, for instance, will turn it permanently white. This goes for lacquer as well.

I think I'm just gonna polyurethane finish as suggested on the can of the penetratrating stain . I appreciate your help .

You’ll ruin your beautiful wood and be very unhappy with the end result.
