This natural resin, called #shellac, is made from melting bugs. #India #resin | Insider

I mix up blonde shellac flakes with denatured alcohol to finish drawer boxes--I like that there's basically no smell or offgasing for the interior of cabinets. Otherwise an oil, wax or other chemical finish can smell for weeks/months/???. It also dries in like a minute before I do the next coat; pretty nice! #woodworking #reels #furnituremaker #maker #shellac #woodfinish #drawers #cabinetmaker | Boundary Fog Furniture
