Yes, Homestead Finishing has a product called "Shellac Flat" you need about 5% to 8% for satin. Your mileage may vary... play with the amount, it's not difficult.

Finishing is an 'Art & a Science'. Actually, it is a process. You must understand the properties and tendencies of the finish you are using. You must know the proper steps and techniques, then you must execute them properly.

If that doesn't work for you, you can rub it with steel wool and wax. It'll be a little north of satin, but nice.

Homestead has German or Indian processed dewaxed shellac flakes.. Is the German better in some way??
