Humpday Triviola

I often use a product when making my furniture. I use different versions of this product depending on the final outcome that I desire. Eastern India versus Western India may often lead to the choices I have available. What am I choosing and why would east versus west (India) make a difference?

I tried to ask my wife, but she lacs the knowledge to help.

I have been woodworking for about 25 years now, and would consider myself an enthusiastic amateur. My claim to fame (or infamy) has always been fixing stuff. I spent time in the Air Force in the 60's then went to work as an electronic technician for civil service. I finally got my EE, and being fed up with the civil service nonsense, took a job with Ford Motor Company until I went with the split to Visteon last year. I got interested in music and started playing in a bluegrass band. I wanted a new guitar, and that kind of led me into woodworking. I bought some books, a few tools, and built a guitar. Luckily, I didn't know any better than to try that as a first ever project. I still play it when I get a chance, so it must not be too bad if it can live for over 20 years. After a stint in Mexico for my job, I moved into a new house and built a small shop. Since then I have been collecting tools and skills, probably more of the former than the latter ;-). Finding this site has done more for my skills and enjoyment than anything else. I have learned a lot and really enjoy the friendships that I have made here. I have been married to LOML (Lori) for 32 years now and have 6 kids. When they are all gone, I want to get a 1 bedroom house (so there is not room for them to move back in) and at least a 6 car heated/air conditioned garage for a shop. (Dream on...)

Thomas, you better stop using those illegal Indian immigrants in making your furniture. The Feds are giving people like you a shellacing these days. :)

Awright....the answer!

It appears I failed to stump the panel today. All in so far are correct and Gary wins first dibs on the gold Uni.

The answer is shellac. Eastern India is generally where the darkest shellacs originate and western India where the lighter amber and blonde shellacs originate...also southeast Asia.

Thanks to all for giving this question a good shellacking!
