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.



I generally relegate shellac to non-abuse surfaces, things like boxes
and wall hangings. Shellac's kryptonite is alcohol, i.e. not a good idea
for a bar top, but it is exceptionally easy to repair and of course has
been used _forever_ as a finish for all manner of wood projects. Much
abuse on table tops is from scratching and this can be mitigated with
maintenance with wax.

It used to be inexpensive as well 8^(
