French polish in progress

Or should I call it Chinese polish? Apparently they were using it 1,000 years ago. But nowadays I guess "Chinese polish" would be polyurethane.

George Bush would have called it "Freedom polish"

Is there a Polish polish?

OK fine.

Started FPing the whole guitar today after I sealed all the rosewood on Friday...the color is looking gorgeous already after 3 bodying sessions. I'm using a Luna 2# cut.

Your shop is too neat.

Looks like you did a nice job carving the heel.

Looks good. You'll have to tell us how many hours it took to FP the whole guitar. From what I've read it's labor intensive.

You're kidding right

Thanks all. I'll get back to you when it's done. It takes time but it's very enjoyable.
