Since the BLO needs to be cut with turps (Per instructions on
container) anyway, what does adding shellac do for you?

Fast sealing. Try it yourself, it's fantastic. I have not yet found
a better product for a natural look on any species of oak. Much more
user friendly and faster than thinned BLO or "Natural" stains. _NO_
bleed back, overcoat with anything the next day.

One comment, though... "Turps", the modified stuff, is not the same
as "Turpentine", maybe it'll work, maybe it won't.

Turpentine, as in the 100% pine tree stuff, works well.
