Greetings from the Antipodes!

Hi David,

In the process of polishing a piece of  merbau (offcut from a timber deck).
Following your instructions, and many trips from shed to computer to refer to the dvd, the result is amazing.
Question  How do you polish a complete project?? say a cabinet or table, something with lots of corners and curves.
Do you polish before final assembly , or do one section at a time.
Regarding the oil.
I think I would prefer olive oil. I know olive oil is made from crushed olives but  what is baby oil made from????

Many thanks 

Pete

What do you think Baby Oil is made from……it must be babies? W.C. Fields said “I like babies, they are however just too much for one sitting.”

Usually we polish before assembly as polishing into corner is hard polish also acts as a release for glue.

Thanks for the laugh! Hope that helps!
Very Best
David
