Ps, the finish as I was desperately trying to explain to Bill Monroe, is a medium mist coat of shellac (Bullseye amber), then a relatively heavy coat of lacquer, both from spray cans. Much rubbing out. In a message dated 3/20/2009 6:59:23 P.M. Central Daylight Time, erwinspiano at aol.com writes: Paul looks like amber shellac over a very white Engleman board from Bolduc. Nice color. It appears that Stwy used amber shellac on all their old pre 1950s boards. Why brush on? I spray on one good wet coat as a sealer coat. Let dry over night & then Scuff it, then spray on 2 good coats of sealer, sand it out & then 2 good wet coats of gloss lacquer. Wet sand with 400,600, Then water wet steel wool on an flat automotive rub out hand tool which hold sandpaper & steel wool beautifully. Nice straight lines. It has a handle. Hand polish with Maguire swirl remover & a t-shirt cloth folded with no seams or creases It's a pretty nice look. On the bottom I don't rub out. Let it shine Dale Actually, here is a pic of a recent soundboard installation (bridges not yet sealed)...Mason AA...if you look closely, you can see the satin sheen result, and the color is just the way I like it, too.
