French polishing is the traditional method of applying a finish (shellac) to wood. It is a painstaking process carried out over many days to build up the finish. Although not commonly used anymore because it is tricky and time consuming we practice it at Alto Stile because it builds up such a beautiful finish, showing of the wood’s natural beauty to the very best effect. Unlike spray or other finishes French polish seeps into the wood to really bring out the colour and grain to the best effect instead of just sitting on the top like spray finishes.
