    Default Ruby Shellac

    By ruby shellac do you mean garnet shellac? Basically shellacs differ only in their shade from dark garnet to blond (which has been artificially bleached) and their wax content. If you have a de-waxed shellac that looks ruby red go ahead with it, it will give your chair a lovely warm glow. But if you want to keep the light colour of the wood, use de-waxed blond shellac preferably a type called platina.
