Hi there everyone,
After playing around with some micromesh in grits running up to 12,000 to sand some pieces of rosewood that i had put a few coats of shellac on to get some idea of what they'd look like finished, i've started to wonder ...
Just how glossy + deep of a finish is a true french polish compared to a shellac finish that's been sanded up through the really fine grades?
I can see myself clearly from a good 3 metres away in the shellaced pieces that i sanded with 12,000 grit micromesh, and though there is a very slight haze on them, i'm pretty sure i could have gotten rid of it had i filled all the pores to start with and wet sanded instead of the fairly ragged quick few coats i slapped on the pieces before sanding them dry.
Ideally i'd like the deepest and highest gloss finish i can possibly get with shellac, and as such, am curious to hear what other people on here think.
