Default Shellac + wax

For the first time, I used shellac and wax on a table top. It looks great, warm and deep. But I'm concerned about durability. What has been your experience?

Thanks.


Overall, its my favorite finish, especially when turning. Its not a durable as a gym floor poly, but it does wear well (I assume you put several coats of shellac on, before several coats of wax) The really good thing is, its easily repaired if you do get some damage. Just treat it with the care you would any other finish and it will last for years.
