Varnishing - the neck part II

After having created the blending, I varnished the neck with the provided "Giffpolitur farblos". I think it is just  pure shellack in some alcohol. Before finishing the neck I was reading in some forums that one often leaves the neck untreated to leave it smoother and more slippery which makes it easier to play. Some say that a French polish or shellack may be used. Since the set  Have includes this grip polish, I think it is exactly the French polish that some use. It's really quite clear. Maybe I should have stained the neck before hand as the colour wasn't quite even. Oh well, something to do differently in the next one.

    My son is outgrowing his cello soon. Could there be a better reason to learn how to make one :).
