Does the shellac get sanded on in granular state or as a liquid? Sounds like liquid and is a similar method that can be used with TO but never tried as that stuff can get quite sticky, particularly on a warm, hot or steamy day. Imagine shellac might be similar in going off tacky really quickly?

Did you manage to get a good grain fill with the 'leave the sawdust in place' method?
My natural finish with Aussie Oil on the 12 string '335-style' didn't really give me full grain fill.

It seems to have worked... I'll soon find out once the glossing up coats are applied.Originally Posted by FredA

Yes same as TO method. The shellac can get sticky just add a drop or two of virgin olive oil to keep it moving. (It separates and rises to the surface and can be wiped off later)

Wow Andrew, your grain looks awesome - especially on the front. She's going to be a beautiful axe.
cheers,
Gav.

So the shellac was a disaster, I was not cut out to be a fine furniture finisher. I stripped this baby back and out with the old trusty Tru Oil...
I did however develop a new way of applying Tru Oil through this process. I'll video the technique on the neck
Here's the front, back and small video of the shine. Up to 800 grit.
