This video is the second in a series-applying finishes on the lathe. Sam covers his approach for using Shellac as a sealing coat and as a final finish as well. Below are useful links to, how shellac is made, French polishing, and a chart for accurtley mixing Shellac Flakes.
The next "finishing" video will cover "friction polish" type finishes.
This video is also a remake of a video with the same name done in 2012.
