Getting Shiney...

After a bit of judicious sanding to get rid of the dye that bled through the masking on to the sides we started adding a shellac French polish coat.

The shellac has really brought out the gorgeous colour of the mahogany!

Then gentle sanding with a fine grade wire wool

My turn, very naughty and not using gloves.

 After spending two days getting shellac off my finger nails I would definitely recommend that gloves are worn!
