We were discussing the use of oil under shellac on a previous thread,
http://www.sapfm.org/forum/index.php?topic=1180.0 "Shellac and Boiled Linseed Oil"
and I see it mentioned again,
http://www.sapfm.org/forum/index.php?topic=1267.0 "Finishing curly cherry"
I have seen no difference in my samples on the same board with or without oiling first. Does anyone have any side by side samples made on the same board that show that oiling improves the finish? My sample is getting fairly old and I still see no difference. I see this oil under shellac mentioned often and I have yet to hear from someone with a side by side comparison say that it makes a difference. If you have such a sample that shows such an improvement to make this step worth doing let us know about it.
