Glenn,
That is beautiful. I just don't really trust myself with a brush. One question though. I didn't really count how many coats I did, I have small bottles and added equal parts of shellac and denatured alcohol, just pretty much rubbed until the rag was somewhat dry, then repeated, is that okay? All in all, for that small piece was about 2 hours. What kind of wax do you use?
