Another Artisan Drumworks exclusive:

French Polish Hybrid (warm, glossy glow)        

French Polishing is one of the oldest craftsman finishes known to man.   It is also used in high end acoustic guitar manufacture and stringed instruments due to it’s acoustic properties and ease of repair. 

The process involves filling of the grain utilizing our proprietary process that does not obscure, but enhances the natural appearance, the “figure” in the wood.  Then,  shellac is ”padded” on with multiple thin layers by hand to “body- up” the finish.  We then hand apply a couple of thin protective top coats of finish to increase durability. Finally, after a curing period, a protective coat of wax is applied.  

Due to the nature of shellac,  this finish produces warmth unparalleled by any other finishing process and is an Artisan favorite.  Our new Hybrid version offers increased protection of this beautiful finishing process.
