I attended a finishing lecture put on by Don Williams (retired Smithsonian finishes curator, Jeff). He has long been known as the shellac guy, but what he said was most furniture of the 18th century was treated with plain wax. The shellac and varnish finishes we see today on utilitarian antiques was probably put on later. So anybody use just wax? Ed Minch |
