    Shellac sticks (for melting) are readily available in Australia - many tones and colours. An example is here: https://www.carbatec.com.au/sanding-...tick-tin-of-10 but you can buy individual sticks much cheaper. I use these often on boxes and can recommend the Liberon shellac sticks.

    Why

    the finished piece should look quite interesting with those "gaps"


    If they must be filled, I think you will need to us a low viscosity epoxy filler that is both tintable and stable under moderate heat.

    yeah i prefer the gaps but i think it will fall to pieces. Maybe I should gently hollow it and see how it goes. I would just hate to cross that point of no return

    I heard ya! I turned it quite thick and I rather like it. When I finish the finish I'll pic it up
