[DIY] Sticky finish on wood

 

DH bought an old wood tray, it's hand-made and hand-painted, a nice tole design over the inside bottom of the tray.  The down side is the finish is sticky.  I want to remove the lacquer? shellac? polyurethane?  I've tried dawn detergent, alcohol & acetone with no luck.  I also have denatured alcohol and turpentine I could try.    I could put a poly finish over it but don't think that's the answer.  Would putting it in the oven on low heat help?  I need to fix the finish without harming the painted portion.

Thanks.
