  • Shellac is a resin secreted by the female Lac Bug that won’t darken or yellow with age. Shellac is cleaned using a damp cloth and light cleaning agents, such as ordinary dish soap.

• Oil-Based Polyurethane

  • Oil-based polyurethane acts as a shield for your wood. It has a thick consistency that causes the finish to be softer which means items are prone to dents. The finish leaves an amber hue that will continue to darken with time. Clean with a dry cloth, duster, or damp cloth, and always use water sparingly.

• Water-Based Polyurethane

  • Water-based polyurethane also a shield for your wood. It has a thinner consistency and is harder than oil-based polyurethane but this means it is susceptible to surface scratches. The finish is clear and will not color with age. Clean with a dry cloth, duster, or damp cloth, and always use water sparingly.
