French polishing....not sure anybody wants to do this on a cue, but I'd never heard of it before, and the final cosmetic result looks incredible

This is something similar to what may be done, prior to clearing a cue. First get the cue surface as smooth as humanly possible, then apply a coat of shellac, that is cut with denatured alcohol, at approximately a 1 to 1 ratio. This will prove especially valuable if you are ever going to stain a piece of wood, and are hoping for an even stain. This type of pretreat, will help accomplish a much smoother, more even stain/finish, if logic prevails.
Very pretty wood in that video. Thank you for sharing that.

Oils in your hands
Will not guard against the oils in your hands.
The finish might work and look good on a fine wood table that is never really used as a tool.
But everyday handling of a cue the finish will be destroyed in a matter of minutes .

Cool video. :thumbup:
Which is why my mother wanted to kill me if I set my glass, beer, whatever on her antique tables. :wink:
I grew up in a house full of antiques, it was like a museum. Couldn't touch anything. LOL!

Hello M. Schaffer,
I enjoyed the video although I do not think this application would or should be advised for a cue finish for many reasons. The main reason being durability.
