Start to finish

The first base coat of shellac has been sploshed on the reso. It's quite messy and it soaks into the surface, raises the grain and makes the muneca stick.

But that's alright, it's always like that. I just knock the grain back with some 500 grit sanding pads and I know the following layers will be so much easier.

It does look half good already. Innit.

  2. It's not a good thing that the bottle of tru-oil is in the picture, I am French polishing this after all.
