Playing with shellac

As you know from my other threads I was looking into Zinssers Seal Coat shellac. I picked some up yesterday and began experimenting with it.

The darker shots have some light maple dye applied firstly.
They all have about 4 rounds of application with sanding with 220 in the later rounds.
It is slowly filling in, the shellac is a 2lb cut according to the info sheet, 100% wax free, its dated Oct 22,2008, Zinsser claims a 3 year shelf life.

This is poplar wood if your wondering.
I wiped on with a lint free cotton cloth, with the grain.
I will keep going this way until I get a true flat surface then I will hit it with Deft Clear Gloss Lacquer and see how it looks.

Any suggestions would be great.

Bill
