Hell-o, now there will be a few posts showing the equivalent of paint drying. I started out with a few coats of shellac brushed on with a soft brush, then with that as a base I continued with the polishing process.
(The book in the photo is a very good read but serves mostly as a prop to boost my credibility.)
French polishing is a wonderful process and at the same time a rather intimidating rabbit hole. I have developed a technique that I think works for me, but question it constantly. Mostly because of the amount of shellac, everything I’ve read measures the shellac in drops to be applied to the muneca, I tend to use a bit more. But as I said, it works.
