Applying finish to back (French Polish)
20211218
Next will be the back.
So the same procedure: surface preparation (sanding), bodying (accumulating the finish), polish (for making it shine), spiriting off burnishing (compact the finish).
The last step will be burnishing the polish to compact and make the back shine.
The back was sanded in increasing grits: 80 120 240 320 400 800 1000.
At the last grit you can see the back surface started to show a abit of shine under the reflection.
Once that is done, I can start to the next process of bodying.
For the back during the polish stage I use pumice to fill in the pores.
Normally for some other process, the pore is filled first using epoxy resing such as zpoxy.
However, I just use the traditional method of pumice instead.
The effect works just fine.
Due to the surface being flat without hindrance polishing the back was much easier.

The process continues until the level of shine is achieved.
After one round of polishing, I apply oil and sand with 400 grit lightly to level the surface even.
THen continue to polish.
