Can a quality finish be done in 3 coats or less
Imagine you have just been asked to do a job - no real money in it but you decide its worth doing from a strategic perspective. Looking at it, there really isnt much you can shortcut except perhaps the finishing - which means that whatever you use is going to have to be 3 coats or less. Spraying is not possible. So, what would you use if you were in this situation ? Is there anything out there that will yield a quality finish in three coats or less ?
Further info - it doesnt have to be a perfect piano finish - but it cant look like a typical DIY varnish job either. Its probably better if the grain shows through a bit. Preferably mid to high gloss. Timber is blackwood, qld maple and red cedar.
cheers

Some of Ubeauts hard shellac will do the trick, other than that polyU/waterbased clear is about the only other choice for that fewer coats.

Shellawax is for woodturning and is a finish itself not a cutting polish. After your second coat a cut/polish will give you a nice luster, you must wait for the shellac to fully cure first...
