Shellac is a great woodworking finish product - gives an antique look
Shellac is a great woodworking finish product, perhaps not for everyone but I like it a great deal. We installed an antique handrail and Newell posts - the handrail was from the late 1800's and the Newell posts from the early 1900's. Really nothing could have done as good a job as the shellac finish.
Rather than use the canned shellac made generally by Zinszer/Bullseye (a great product in clear or amber) we bought this Garnet shellac flakes from Weller Mart. We were using the old 4" wide pine trim in our kitchen for new windows we put in and the wife wanted a darker hue that the Zinszer/Bullseye amber that we used on the stair case. I am impressed with these shellac flakes. You mix it yourself in denatured alcohol and it dissolves in the alcohol. You are making your own finish, very uncomplicated and the flakes melt easily into the alcohol - the instructions say to perhaps grind the flakes and that it might take up to 36 hours to dissolve. I did not grind the flakes and it really only to a few hours to dissolve completely. There are basically 3 mix formulas to make 1lb/2lb/3lb 'cuts' as they call them, which is the ratio of alcohol to amount of shellac flakes. We purchased the 'ruby' flakes before the garnet flakes and I used the 2# cut. Darker than amber but the wife wanted darker still so we did the thickest mixture ratio (less alcohol more flakes) of 3# cut. It is darker but never as dark as if you used a stain.
If you are looking for a quick one coat finish, shellac is probably not for you. The new unfinished wood on the windows took 4 coats (the 1st coats were the 2# cut, coats 3 & 4 were the 3# cut) and the pine trim with a previous finish/stain took 2-3 coats. Plus shellac is different to work with, being alcohol based it dries very quickly so application is a different beast. A thinner mix (1#cut) perhaps brushes thinner but takes more coats.
That being said I wish we had used shellac on our window trim in other parts of our restored 1937 cabin instead of MiniWax Polyshades. I'm still learning a lot about shellac, it is common as a sanding sealer on furniture and stringed instruments. I used shellac on an old guitar that I refinished to very good results.

Great switch, Fender brand,
Great switch, Fender brand, quality part. Not any more expensive than an import switch.
Glad to put this in a rebuilt guitar.
