Every morning and evening I rub on another application of French Polish on the four Pinecones. They are now getting to the glossy stage. Here they are hanging overhead after tonight's application.
Then as time allows I work on the new build of three tenors. Today I only had about an hour but I was able to thin these Maple and E. Indian rosewood sides down close to where I want them. Now with every three passes through the sander I take a measurement with the micrometer, an essential tool for a luthier.
I will take these down to .80, a ways to go yet. This is lovely wood, It is fun to work with such beauty.
 I had to put a new roll of sandpaper in the trusty Jet 10-20. This machine is a godsend to an instrument maker. |  Here it is ready to go to work. |
