Three fourths of the way through today's French polishing session. Can you tell the part that hasn't been polished today?

Session #3. One of the things I enjoy about French polishing is getting to examine every nuance of the wood and how it changes with each polishing session.

I'm at the stage of waiting 3 days before the first round of sanding for the French polish.
I may work on #3 in the mean time.

Double-checking some measurements and sanding the top contour into the bridge.
