The biggest drawback in applying this method to a soundboard I would think would be the bridge being a bit difficult to work around. A flat, unobstructed surface would be much better, to be sure. Spraying is hard to beat in a game like this. Still, I'm sure his procedure would yield very fine results.

It involved sanding the varnish into the wood in successive coats using finer and finer sandpaper. The sanding created a kind of slurry which acts to fill the grain of the wood. The excess varnish is then wiped off and allowed to dry before the next finer grit is used on the subsequent coat. I have always liked using varnish on soundboards for its durability and look, but have found it a bit of a headache because of the time it takes to dry and the problems with dust. This method supposedly avoids that and creates a rather lustrous finish. Has anyone tried this method? Any comments. The article mentions that for large surfaces you may want to use two people.
