Congratulations, Andrew and wishing you a happy New Year.
ReplyDeleteYour dedication to the art of french polishing is impressive as well as your skill, which is evident in your work. Question: How do you finish two services that are perpendicular to each other, or corners for that matter? I've become somewhat proficient at finishing a flat surface, but haven't figured out the process for good results when finishing items beyond the table top. Thanks in advance for any reply.
ReplyDeleteHi Sorry for the delay in replying to you! I have only just noticed your question.
ReplyDeleteWell you raise a good point,the best way to get right up against the edge is by using a very small rubber with a sharp point, and to be able to make a small rubber with a sharp point will take time and practice however, if you stick at it you will get there. Also use linseed oil whilst French polishing and that will assist you in being able to get a well finished and even surface up against another edge. Even for myself it can be difficult and I often try to avoid doing so, if the item is a modern piece, then you could get away with a spray finish as this will definitely cover every hidden corner. Great to hear from you! Keep up the good work and thank you very much for your kind words they are much appreciated. Regards, Andrew.
