Finest quality of shellac available on the market.

Mahogany is one of the most difficult colors to perfect, so take your time on creating the correct sequence formula on your project. Our Ruby Shellac has a wonderful clarity and depth of shine and will produce one of the most natural and beautiful finishes in woodworking.

It's highly desirable for antique restoration.

Instructions and useful hints are included with each order.

Different colors of shellac can be layered to provide various shades on the finished product.

Shellac also works well with stains, dyes, varnishes, and other coatings such as Waterlox or Polyurethane.

Shellac is UV - resistant and does not yellow or darken over time.

Shellac will adhere tenaciously to virtually any surface and is much less brittle than lacquer and does not scratch as easily. Unlike toxic polyurethane, a damaged shellac finish can easily be touched up or renewed by applying another coat. A new coat of shellac melts itself into the existing coat.

Unlike other types of finish, all types of shellac can be applied in cold temperatures without concern over proper drying and curing times.

Shellac enhances the beauty of wood grain unlike any other finish. Shellac is one of the only wood finishes that really brings out the natural beauty of wood without that fake plastic look. Shellac, especially when applied using the French Polishing technique will make the wood grain pop. It brings out the rich warmth of wood grain in a way that no other finish has ever done.
