His included story on how he became a master at FP is worth the read. The guy was a true piece of work in a good way.

Thanks for commenting Bruce. I haven’t read George Frank’s article yet but I look forward to. I was introduced to French polishing by Frank Finochio when I made my second guitar at one of his classes. I later picked up some nice tips from Ervin Somogyi while attending his Masters Voicing Classes. I also got a good start following the methods written by Bob and Orville Milburn.
I made an early commitment to mastering French polish because when well done I personally feel there is no better finish for guitar.
