Jarrah finish

Have made a heavy jarrah blanket box for our son and he wants a shiny finish. Have sealed it so far with 3 coats of Shellac. What next, any ideas?
Cheers, John.

Two or three more coats of shellac followed by carnauba wax. A beeswax with carnauba in it will do. Shinier than straight beeswax. Sponsor of this site probably has a likely product.

Ubeaut Traditional wax works well on jarrah over shellac, really shines.
