Thanks for all the help everyone.....
If you are using wood that has been acclimated or dried.

You might want to give CrystaLac Clear Wood oak.
As I remember the wood has a tight grain TT to the shellac or simply use a tint coat of shellac.

I've been perusing the wood finish threads and noticed there isn't much talk of simple stain+polyurethane methods. What's the reason for this? This is the most common type of finish I'm familiar with. Is it considered a less "purist" way of doing things...
