Amrosia and Redwood OM for my grandson

[Kevin in California]

Fret work is done and the neck just needs some final sanding before pore filling, which I will do with mahogany sawdust and shellac.
The bridge is made. It is Indian Ebony. I'll locate the bridge with two indexing pins on the top tonight and mask the glue surface off. I'll also mask off the gluing area for the fretboard extension, then tomorrow I'll do some final sanding on the body and begin to French Polish. The only wood with pores is the walnut binding and I'll fill that with shellac and some light sanding as I begin to apply shellac on the sides.
I'll put on some more pictures tomorrow!

The french polishing is going good. I'm almost done with the body, just a few more sessions on one of the sides.
I'll let it sit for about a week, then level sand one more time and hand polish. I'll start porefilling and finishing the neck tonight.
Less than 3 weeks till this one has to be done!

I really like it.
Are you padding on the shellac or actual French polishing? - I understand both methods work well.

I am doing FP the Robbie O'brien way. Works very well, especially when your time is limited.
