To my question. Are you using alkanet root applied directly to the wood prior to the sealer coat (if shellac) or are you using it as a lubricant when applying the sealer coat. Or ??? |

To be quite frank, I feel as if you are seriously overthinking the topic of wood finishing for your forend project. It sounds like you have done an awful lot of research and inquired a lot to this point.
There comes a time when one must act on something and just get it done. Make it happen and learn from their own experiences.

I agree with Brian, just make it happen. Too many questions for me. I've asked questions starting out, but I'm self taught. I've learned from my mistakes and my achievements. I'm a perfectionist, if I don't like something, I'll start over. Good luck Cameron!

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?
