Finishing a Throne

 To protect the maple from water and the bunny from chemicals only safe finishes were used.  First a layer of Bulls Eye clear shellac to seal the maple and prevent blotching.  Then a layer of boiled linseed oil to liven up the grain.  Finally another layer of shellac to harden up the outside.

I think in the future I'd thin out the first layer of shellac by mixing it about 50/50 with some thinner.  Denatured alcohol isn't available in Canada anymore so there's no cheap way to thin out the shellac.  Bulls Eye comes as a 2 pound cut and for that first sealing layer I feel like I'd prefer a one pound cut.

Cheers!
