I finished this table today. It is constructed of walnut and walnut burl veneer for the top. The finish is several coats of orange shellace, followed by Target USL on the top which was wet sanded and polished. I'll probably do a little more polishing, but for now I'm calling it done.
The base was actually sprayed with USL as well, but it came out too rough. When I wet sanded, the slurry got into the pores of the wood and I couldn't get it out without damaging the finish. I'll have to learn more about what to do in that situation for next time. I ended up resanding to bare wood and reapplying the shellac. After several coats, it looked really good and I decided to just leave it as-is.
