Impressive!! Looks awesome! Did you make your own F Polish froj shellac, or use ready made? Also, a few lines on your process would go down a treat on this forum...there are many eyes watching!! Lawry

Hi Lawry
Yes I did my own french polish from shellac.I use to made it.I dont buy redy french polish,frst you dont know how long ago was made.Its very impotrant that to use ,,strong``f.polish.Its does dry faster and its easer to work with.Methylated spirit is only ok,(f.polish is ,,wèak``.Much better is 99.9 polising spirit.stripped able first and discovered that wood from which table was maide was very unusual.Grain vas very nice ,stained with Morrells stain(alcohol base) and polised .Ah forgot that change colour of f.polish to get this reach shade of honey.well there much more things I should tell about this projekt but maybe nex taime.Oh two legs where missing,had to maide them up.Turning in wood its very pleasant so everything went fine.Job done
