Speaking of cork and shellac.. I just put some shellack on black cork tape from Rivendell with the idea of matching my black Brooks saddle. However, I used Amber shellac and well it turned out not to match the Brooks saddle, but a beautiful deep chocolate brown. Although it is not a match the result was quite nice. It would be great with an antique brown saddle. I plan to restore an old bike, may be this will give me the excuse to switch out the saddle. It is an impressive result.
