For a finish, a coat of paste filler colored so as to give a rich
golden brown should be applied first. Allow this to harden, after
rubbing and polishing it in the usual manner, then apply a thin coat of
shellac. Sand this lightly when hard, and over this apply a coat of
orange shellac. Over the shellac put several coats of some good rubbing
wax and polish each coat well. If a striking contrast is wanted for the
medullary rays of the quartering, apply a golden-oak stain first. Sand
this lightly, then apply a second coat diluted one-half with solvent and
sand again lightly. Apply a thin coat of shellac, then, when dry, sand
lightly and apply paste, and proceed as before.
