The first time I tried French polishing, I was sure I'd wrecked the guitar. The results were cloudy and streaked. The pores wouldn't fill no matter what I did, and nothing I produced looked anything like the deep, glass-clear finish I'd seen on the instruments I admired. I came close to writing the whole method off and going back to spraying lacquer, which I already knew how to do. But I couldn't let it go. I knew that shellac, done right, gives you something a sprayed finish simply can't. A depth and a warmth, a sense that the wood is still breathing under there, that the guitar can really sing. So I stayed with it. I studied under a master French polisher named Eugene Clark, and I spent years quietly working out a process I could trust to come out right every time. These days, French polishing is one of my favorite parts of any build. I put what I learned into a free 22-page Shellac Handbook, the starting point I wish I'd had. Which shellacs actually matter and which don't, how to mix your own with simple recipes, the alcohol question and why it changes your finish, the materials I rely on, and what to do when it isn't going the way you want. If you've wanted to try French polishing, or you've been fighting it and want it to finally come out right, this will help. https://theartoflutherie.com/shellac-handbook-for-french-polishing/?utm_source=facebook&utm_medium=paid_social&utm_campaign=shellac&utm_content=story
