    Oh, wow! That’s looking really great. I’m a total noob when it comes to using the polishing compound - is it applied by hand? Or by a buffing mechanism of some sort?

    I did it all by hand. As the top on the body is all contoured veneer over the maple cap I did not want to use any mechanical sanding or polishing. So it was all done with a cotton rag and elbow grease. Even then on the sides of the body I got too enthusiastic and had to reapply oil to 5 spots where I rubbed through with the finish.
