A technique on wood finishing that yields very high gloss, deep colour, and tough surface refers to French polishing. This technique is used in wooden furniture. Further, several thin coats of shellac are applied with the use of a rubbing pad—this is made up of wadding inside a square-piece cotton and is known as a fad. Different rubbing motions create the finish and this process is repetitive and lengthy as ample time is required to build up the layers of polish, after which any streaks are taken off the surface. Oil is used in lubricating the fad and is integrated in the overall finish. Basically, mineral oil, which is considered as "softer" oil, will produce a glossier and less durable finish whereas "harder" oils, such as walnut oil, will produce a more durable finish.
Most French polishing service providers will provide pick up and delivery services. While some might charge extra for the same, some providers will include these charges in their fees. Some providers might also provide insurance to cover for any damages during transport. To find out the charges, you could easily get a free quote from several providers and compare.
