Shellac done!

Not a big update, just following up on the shellac'ing... i think we're just about done. Took 12 coats to get the right shade (using my dad's '66 Tele as comparison), then some sanding with 400-grit, and finally some touch-ups after that. Here ya go, with the natural maple scrap alongside for comparison:

Next step is Tru-Oil, after I give the shellac a few days to cure.
