>Hi,

I have been using a mixture of equal parts boiled linseed oil, pale shellac and alcohol. For lighter woods substitute tung oil for linseed oil. Mix in small batches and shake well before using. This mixture is a friction polish I use on pens, bottle stoppers and such. One thing I have found is that the best results are obtained by using shellac made from flakes.
