Ok, I have achieved a really pleasing shellac finish on my forend wood and recut the checkering with the Parker mullered border. Now I have yet one more question on finish. Woodcock season here in Ohio is always accompanied by wet conditions. On at least a few days outings the forend wood will be handled by wet shooting gloves for certain. Will the shellac finish be up to these conditions? Opinions on adding a final finish such as a wiping varnish?
