Looking good.

It looks like you did a test on Shellacking the Tapa and maybe the Shellac soaked in and did not look so good.

Just a guess, but if you coat all of the tapa with Elmers's glue just the top part you want to Shellac, then let that dry, then paint with the shellac it might be more what you are looking for.

The glue stops the shellac from soaking into the Tapa and it looks much better that way, it also helps to protect the tapa too.
