I am almost ready to start finishing a maple and canary wood project (Crib). After much reading and a few tests I have settled on using BLO then Shellac then WB lacquer.
I am going to spray the shellac and lacquer on with a HVLP conversion gun.
I want to buy shellac flakes and mix myself. What pound cut is best? 2?
How many pounds of shellac flakes at a 2 lb cut will be needed to put a layer of shellac on before the lacquer? I am getting ready to buy some and wasn't sure how much to buy.
The photo shows a test pieces of maple and canary wood that have been treated with a very light coat of BLO. I like the look so am going to go with a dewaxed blonde shellac and then a WB Lacquer from Target coatings.
Anyone purchace shellac from http://www.woodfinishingsupplies.com/shellac_g.htm
Prices look like the best I can find.
The canary wood will serve as an accent piece. The crib is mostly maple with a few accents of canary.
