Thanks.
Lighting with tweed pics is often deceiving.
It is finished in nitrocellulose.
No offense intended to anyone, but I don't care for the amber shellac that some guys use. To my eyes, it's a peculiar shade of brown, that does not look like any vintage tweed I've ever seen.
I use a clear shellac for a base coat, and un-tinted nitro after that. Looks close to how the originals did new, and ages naturally.
