{"product_id":"jethwa-dark-button-lac","title":"Jethwa Dark Button Lac","description":"\u003cp\u003eJethwa dark button lac. The deeper end of the button-form spectrum — a cottage-produced, wax-containing shellac that runs darker and richer than the Kusmi or Bysakhi grades.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis run is 100% from the 2026 Jeth harvest — a single harvest, pressed in a single run of buttons for this bench. When it sells through, it's gone until the next crop.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eJethwa is for the work where you want shellac to add color, not just clarity — antique restoration, walnut and dark hardwoods, finishes where the depth is part of the point.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eMixing notes: see the \u003ca href=\"\/pages\/pound-cut-chart\"\u003epound cut chart\u003c\/a\u003e for dry weight per gallon, quart, and pint at the common working cuts.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSourced direct from a fifth-generation refining family in India who has supplied this bench since 1990.
