Name plate

[Wichman]

 

      My latest project; a nice desktop name plate for a newly minted Doctor. I'm not sure of the wood, but I  liked the grain and color. FD Polar #1 blades throughout. I had to use super glue to hold some of the design together,  then many coats of shellac, with the final coats from a rattle can. 

One issue I have is the shellac pulled away from the short edges about 1/16". Any ideas why?

I took two pictures,  one for the look and another to show the shine.

Mighty fine.  no idea about the Shellac.  I use it all the time with good results.
