re: Two more

I was never happy with the finish on this piece so I decided to clean it up and French polish it. I use a modified clamp to hold the piece through the sound hole so I don’t have to touch anything while finishing. After the first application of shellac, I took it out of the vice and dropped it on the concrete floor with the clamp attached and this is the result 😫. I haven’t tried any serious repair work in the past and this is definitely a serious repair job. Guess I’ll find out what serious repair work is all about.
You built it. You busted it. You fix it!
