The French polishing is almost complete. About three months with many tangets, several days days of waiting between coats. Amber and blonde shellac mix, unable to produce a sunburst effect, settled for amber streaks of a sort. This was my alternative to spraying lacquer. I'm pleased with the outcome this far. Still some finishing steps remain for the top for instance, polisheing with rottenstone remains. The trianglular neck holder gets in the way of finishing the upper bouts. Next time, I'll make it straight where it extends above the surface in order to give better access to the top.
