Default Should I use Shellac?

I agree, but add a word of caution:
Shellac does not age well. If you mix up a batch, mix only what you expect
to use, and discard unused. I am sure someone will be able to suggest shelf
life for a batch of shellac.

Cannot find the link, but I think even the shellac flakes have some sort of
shelf life, so you should purchase from a source that has high turn over of
stock.

Well, it looks good,

As do other finishes. Shellac doesn't stand out here.

it's forgiving of application errors,

I covered that in one word, easy.

repairable

Good thing as it's more likely than most film finishes to need it.




Other than THAT, it's nothing special. ;-)
