Thanks, everyone. I tried 4 coats of blonde shellac, which did add some colour and depth to the wood, but not quite as much as I was looking for. I also tried 3 coats of blonde followed by 1 coat of orange, and also a test with 3 coats of a 5:1 mix of blonde-to-orange. Both of these last two options gave very similar results, with a slight ambering of the wood. I think I’ll go with one of these last options.
Thanks again,
Tom
