I would say leave the shellac out.

Crooked stick. . . Urethane will not dry on the wood riser. It has to be sealed with something first.

Shellac as sealer and Hellsman Spar as overcoat have both been applied. Bow is in final drying time over the weekend. Light sand and final coat tomorrow. Looking awesome.
