French Polish Workshop with Alan Noel

Wednesday, March 7, 2012 from 5:30pm to 8:30pm
Class Size: 16
Hands-On Class

French polish has long been regarded as the most beautiful finish for fine wood furniture and, because it imparts a finer sound to stringed instruments, is overwhelmingly preferred by luthiers. This finish actually does not involve polish at all but is simply a method of applying shellac. Alan will demonstrate his method for achieving this finish that's as easy as riding a bike. He will show you how to apply, maintain, repair and restore this classic finish.
