Dovetails look on point. How did you like the French polishing process?
@Sean thanks! Those were done with a dovetail jig and there are mistakes on them. I filled some of the errors with sawdust and glue. But overall they came out ok. The jigs are all about setup and mine is a royal PITA to set up.
The French polish is a lot of work. I have a few light areas that I just couldn't seem to get the shellac to build up even though I did like 20 coats. French polish is just a fancy method for applying shellac. I have not done it since.
