today, my wife :blah: decided which finish for the dining room set, that she liked best. thanks to rennie, and his good advice on mixing up shellac from flakes! :thumb:
it consists of varathane cognac oil stain to begin with, followed by varathane kona gel stain, then 2 coats of 1.5# cut of garnet shellac, finished off with with 2 coats of zinsser's clear shellac.
this is on white oak (all our furniture, save for the 2 chairs in the living room, are white oak)

Loks good! Just don't spill any adult beverages on that finish!
