For many years I've used Shellac, from flakes, not cans, as my "go to" finish. Both "brushed on" and "French polished". Occasionally I needed a more durable finish for table tops so I used a home made brew wiping varnish.
I'm completing a period style chest of drawers and have been thinking about the finishing process. Maybe trying one of the new systems, specifically OSMO Polyx-Oil. So I am wondering ....has anybody used this product on their "period furniture"?
What is your favorite finish/methods?
