Stain and shellac

I have been reading a new book called "the Furniture Bible" and it talked a lot about different finishes and effects that are used on furniture. I had a thought to create one of these finishes on panel and then cut it. You could not do it after cutting due to burnishing or extensive polishing. I was wondering if anyone has attempted this or something similar. If so, what were the results?

I often use hardwood plywood in cabinet work. I like to apply finish (3 coats of poly acrylic) to the full size sheet(s) (4' x 8')  before cutting it (them) down into the component parts. It works quite well for those interior pieces of cabinetry. I've never tried this for any scroll project but a couple of thoughts. Many scroll projects are one sided any tear-out would be on the back side. I think the type of finish you are considering will be an important factor.

 

I think you should try it on a couple of smaller projects and see - then share the knowledge with you closest friends on SSV.
