Yes, that is some name. I have been following french polishing with sanding with wet-dry papers from Japan (just to be completely contrary to you I guess) that I think I obtained around 1997 from LMII. They are silicon carbide and I have 1000, 1200, 1500, and 2000 grits though I may only use one or two, with olive oil as the lubricant, followed by rubbing with liquid abrasive auto body polishes using terry cloths. Sharp edges and points are easy to polish through. It looks like your heel could be a difficulty. I often have trouble with the edges formed by the facets at the ends of bridge wings. I have to sand very lightly there, even when I think I rounded them enough in sanding the wood.
