Interesting, I'll try that. The scrap piece I originally stained sucked it up pretty quickly, and was really dark
Just so you know, the shellac will be like water it is so viscous. That is why I recommend using a rag to apply it if the columns are standing in place, and only one coat with as little overlap as possible.
It will dry very quickly due to the alcohol evaporating, so there is very little down time before you can stain it.

you could also just use a pre-stain conditioner. Same concept I'm sure as the thinned shelac. Except it's specifically designed for it. limits stain abosrbtion so that area that typically "over-absorb" don't and everything comes out more even. I've had good results. Seems to me that if you don't get the shellac mixture right, you might put a seal coat over the wood. I use Shellac on my workbench to protect it from paints/stains/wood glue/etc..
I admit I'm not an expert though.
