French polishing is to apply shellac with a rag. The rag is made into a fist size ball to fit the hand, then charged with shellac with a few drops of linseed oil. Wipe it on with a circular motion and then with the grain. The more you apply the better the finish. We also to the same with with a rag wrapped around a finger clean the black japan on old sewing machines.
