    The author of this content is describing their experience with finishing a piece of maple wood. They used 2 thin coats of 3lbs cut shellac from Zinssler (machine mix from Home Depot) to bring out the holographic shimmer of the wood, which looks beautiful when tilted back and forth in the light. They had previously tested teak oil on a scrap of the same maple wood, but found that it did the opposite of popping the grain and instead made the colors muddy and indistinct. The author is planning to use a topcoat of spray-on semi-gloss spar urethane to protect the wood and maintain its luster. Overall, they are pleased with how the color and texture of the wood turned out after using the shellac.

    A single last shot with the grain turned. Take note that the darker spots in the earlier shot are absent. That is a very little little bit of a peek into the shimmery excellent of this maple now. I am very amazed, and I read tonight that noted wooden finisher Jeff Jewitt – who seems all around the online in conversations of wood finishes – mentioned in an job interview I read substantially of that he really likes shellac most effective of all the brush-on finishes (while it can also be sprayed – he experienced other possibilities for very best spray finishes).

    Spraying a thinned-down (1-2lbs reduce) of this dewaxed shellac would surely have been less difficult. Sanding right after each coat, and a couple of levels of spray-on spar urethane as a prime-coat will even out the floor, I assume.
