{"product_id":"dark-jethwa-button-2026-crop-reservation","title":"Dark Jethwa Button — 2026 Crop Reservation","description":"\u003cp\u003eDark Jethwa button lac — the deep end of the Jethwa harvest, a shellac that adds color as it builds. Not a shelf grade: the 2026 run is confirmed and in production now, Jethwa sticklac made into buttons by hand at a small producer's works, specifically for this bench. You are reserving your share before it lands.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMost commercial shellac sold today is dewaxed flake — a 20th-century industrial product. Button lac is the older form, the one classical finishing texts describe. The wax is part of the structure, not an impurity to be removed. The buttons are produced by hand in small operations, weighed and packed one bag at a time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhere the light side of the Jethwa harvest lets the wood carry the color, Dark Jethwa runs deep and rich — the grade for antique restoration, walnut and dark hardwoods, and finishes where the depth is part of the point. Because it is a genuine crop rather than a blended grade, the yield is finite. That is why we reserve it rather than stock it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow the reservation works\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eYou are reserving your share of one confirmed crop batch\u003c\/strong\u003e, shipped in a single lot when it lands.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eReserve now, paid in full.\u003c\/strong\u003e Payment is taken at reservation; reserving is what holds your allocation.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThe batch is finite.\u003c\/strong\u003e The allocation is capped and we do not oversell it.
