French Polish Definition and Composition

French Polish is a type of wood finish that creates a very high-gloss surface.

It is primarily known for its characteristic smooth, lustrous appearance.

Key Components

  • Shellac: A natural resin derived from the lac insect.
  • Alcohol: Typically denatured ethanol (methylated spirits) is used as the solvent.

The process involves dissolving shellac flakes in alcohol to create a liquid finish, which is then applied to the wood in multiple thin layers using a pad.

The result is a durable, transparent coating.
