    This is the Feast Watson jarrah stain. It was the U-beaut sanding sealer (which I'm sure is their shellac diluted to 10%).

    I somehow had the feeling it would be an Australian product I don't have access to. It looks great over the sanding sealer.

    I think the Shellac based sanding sealer allows the stain to penetrate into the wood. It is meant to help with reducing blotchy uptake of stain, and reduce the stain darkness on end grain.

    Some other Sanding Sealers I have tried will not take any stain. Great if you want natural colours.
