Or French Polish as Austin often recommended, which is shellac based.

French polish is just shellac with linspeed oil used as a lubricant so the shellac won't stick when being applied with the pad. Google Luthiers and see how it's done. Dries almost immediately and you can apply booco layers in a day. Also easy to fix if you screw up.
