I have a question about, what did Parker use as a finish. Was it a shellac? or some other concoction of linseed oil and waxes.

Parker used shellac. You can use Bullseye amber shellac. Takes a little practice to put it. It dries quickly so when your done putting it on the stock, you can immediately start again. Multiple applications can be done in 1 day. I've done many stocks without taking the action off the stock. Do a google search for applying shellac to guitars. If there is shellac currently on the stock, alcohol will take it off.
