French polish is a process, not just a material. The main material is shellac. Although there are several other shellac based finishes, notall are classified as French polishing. The French polish technique is an excellent method to accent exoticwood grain.
This is resin dried and then made into solution in alcohol. This is liquid shellac. Shellac was confined to the far east until traders introduced it to Europe in the 1700s, however, it wasn't until "the 18 century that the technique of using Shellac was refined by The French, hence known as French Polishing". |
