I know that sounds real bad, but it's my floor, not my furniture. I just 
milled all the bull nosing and  I'm trying to match a pre-finished 'Bruce 
Flooring' stain. 3 or 4 stains,a little red dye and it's looking pretty 
good...but it needs a little orange...guess what, that ol' 3# cut brings 
it on home. Now .. can anyone please tell me if I can shoot polyurethane 
on top of this?  I'm sure the shellac will not stand up to the abuse.  
Please stop me if I'm about to make a horrible mistake as I'm down to the 
last 3 or 4 hrs of this project and I'm getting that antsy feeling .......
650 squ. ft. of maple...my knees look like dinner plates but my wife is 
sooooo happy..

I don't know about flooring but I have done just that on furniture, poly
over shellac, I would advise that you do a thin coat of shellac, 3:1 or
even 4:1 then poly then shellac and build your finish.

There's something to be said about having a head with corners.
