Birch plywood as table top - finish

[meaple]

Hi, I'm hobbyst and not sure if this can be dome.
I'm making coffee table and it will have birch ply top. I wand to darken it slightly and secure it, I want to avoid plasticky look. I was wandering if I can change a color slightly by using shellac sanding sealer and then use Osmo Polyx on top of it?
