I had some shellac left over from using it on my recently acquired Toods 12 footer and decided I would give my 2008 Joe Strain a couple of coats. It lost that shellac sheen ages ago, and I remember reading that it was OK to shellac your whip at any time, I think it may have been Bernie from Em Brand Whips, although he doesnt shellac his personally. I was tring to dedcide what todo with the leftover shellac " I supposed I could shellac my Wested.....nahhhh better not" Anyway here it is, what do you think?

It looks amazing! What was the original color? Natural tan? Saddle Tan?

Beautiful whip. And yes, you can shellac anytime you want without hurting the whip. Just be sure to put it on thin and don't over do it. You did good :clap:

I would definitely suggest cleaning it off very thoroughly before shellacking.

It looks nice!

ooops my mistake, it is natural tan and not saddle tan. And yes I meticulously wiped it down and let it dry before applying the shellac!
