Thanks everyone for the compliments. The shellac is the premised can you get from the home depot.  I have been using it to seal the back and end of staves because it stands uat and steam better than anything I have found and it dries in about sixty seconds when it is fresh. It makes for a very hard finish. I was able to get the ten coats on in two days without my wife complaining about the smell of true oil in the house.  I just grab on old tshirt, cut it up and dip it in the can and wipe it on... Fast.  It sets up very quick so I slop it on and just watch for runs or drips.  Ithe company that makes it is zinsser.

Sorry the pics are so small. I will.try to take some with the camera instead of my phone. :)

Here is the full draw pic. It's the best one I can get for now till my wife comes home from deer hunting this weekend. 

Again, sorry for the poor quality pics, but its the best my phone will do.
