I have some oak from when I redid my steps to my recroom and some mahogany boards that was laying around my shop and wanted to make some treasure/ jewerly boxes. Could I just use blo with a sealcoat of dewaxed shellac ? any opinions would be helpful.

a jewlry box or keepsake box generally isnt to large, so you could use rattle can spray lacquer as well as the other suggestions..you really done have any restriction on those woods..the oak is generally pretty porous so it would take alot coats to fill in the grain if yur after a glass finish but if yu want just a protective coat and a satin look and feel, then wipe on poly will be good for handling.
