The guy at woodcraft suggested using regular old brown paper grocery

job.

It's been discussed here a number of times in the past. AAMOF, nothing
work like a brown paper bag on the final coat of shellac a week after it
cures.

I've never used shellac.
What about it makes the paper so good?
What's it doing to the shellac?
The friction heats the shellac just enough to burnish it, and it is
just rough enough to both cause the friction and then burnish it super
smooth.

Serious? Tell me you're not just making that up (like some guys in
here). :-)
Makes sense to me.


Oak rust, suspended in animal fat and rubbed in with Festool
Brownbagpaper™ is the ticket for me.

I'm still laughing... it's not getting old. :-)

Brownbagpaper™ sold in packs of one for $24.99.... on sale at Woodcraft,
4 for $100.
