[Harp-L] Sealing wood comb

["Tom Halchak" <thalchak@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I believe that sealing a wood comb is not about what you put ON the wood but
rather what you put IN the wood.  Ideally you want something that will soak
into and be absorbed by the wood so that all the pores are sealed.  In that
regard, I have been using Shellac.  It is very easy to work with and has
been used for decades as a wood finish.  It is all natural and has been
approved by the USDA for use in foods.  In the past three years + I have
sealed over 1,500 wood combs with shellac and have had very positive
results.
