Default Shellac

I've never finished a gun stock with Shellac before but, I'm nearing my final coat(s) on one I've been working on. Any tips to get a final coat laid down w/out any streaks? (i.e., keeping a wet edge)

*I'm applying the 2# cut of Garnet shellac I mixed-up myself with cheese cloth wrapped in t-shirt cotton. Also, I'm not french polishing but, I am cutting the dried shellac back w/cotton-oil-pumice to smooth it out between coats. Should I entertain the idea of airbrushing the final coat? I want the natural sheen of shellac, sans pumice-cut, as a finish coat.
