    I`ve used shellac on small boxes as a finish. Just rubbing it on with a cloth, not actually French polishing. Its a lovely finish and is so hard and glass like. Not like some varnishes that are so soft you can put your nails in to it. Nice video!

    Shellac is a type of finish product, french polish is a technique to apply a finish.

    Magnificent video. I have a question about how to place the label when the guitar is fully built and what type of glue. I have to put a label on a guitar and I don't know the protocol that goes into it. One detail that I forgot is that you have to cover the label that is on or has. The two labels are from the same artisan who has since passed away. Any information Mr. Brian would be appreciated. A greeting from Spain.

    So, sort of a semi-French polish finish. Very smart. The time spent "bodying up" isn't worth it, and these results speak for themselves. Next time, I'm going to try this method. Thanks, Les!

    Beautiful work. Without buffing, shellac is impossible to apply completely flat: a close inspection will reveal small streaks. One solution is to build a coat of shellac to serve as a barrier then finish with nitrocellulose. Thus the beauty of shellac is preserved, and the finish will not dull over time. Just my experience.

    wonderful video. It doesn't look like you used a solero to build this, so how did you achieve the curvature of the top and the neck angle? Or did you build a flattop ?

    The term is french polishing, there is not a product called French polish, it is shellac which comes from a beetle in southern Indian and Malaya. The method of applying shellac was originated by two brothers from france called Martin, in the 17th century it did not become widely used until they traveled to England and coincided with the use of Mahogany in the furnature industry a perfect finish for hardwoods. The method used was to apply shellac with a rubber, a cotton cloth folded around cotton wadding to apply a series of very thin coats to built up using varying pressure to achieve a mirror like finish but the the product is shellac.

    Great, what is that at :029 seconds on the palm of your hands? Is the product at 4:16 in the bottle the same Naphta? Is the Naphta the only product you use other than adding some Grain alcohol at some moment? No other varnish nor oils?

    When scraping away the finish in the rectangular area on the guitar’s top where the bridge will be mounted: What is the name of the tool being held like a pencil? (Not the chisel). I really, really respect this work.

    Hello! Is it ok to use an NGR penetrating wood stain on an acoustic guitar? I have bought one online but I'm worried it could muffle my guitar or something. The plan is to stain both fretboard and body and then apply clear lacquer top coat on the body
