It's been my understanding that you don't use automotive lacquer on
wood, as the auto lac won't give like lacs made for wood. ie: it'll end
up cracking if there is appreciable wood movement. Any experience to
prove that wrong? Thanks!

Well...it depends. MOST of the formulations are "synthetic"
lacquers, and have enough plastic in them that they are well able
to deal with the movement of woods. There are still some
formulations, though, that are "more brittle" and less able to
flex, so will cause problems.
