Hello Sydney French Polishers,
You know the feeling. You're working on a piece and the finish isn't just about shine, it's about respect. Layer by layer, pad by pad, the surface comes alive. Most shops don't care. They rush, they spray, they cut corners. You keep doing it right anyway, because you know the difference.
This is a place that knows the difference too.
Here, the work is varied. Antique restorations that need patience and precision. Architectural pieces that demand a flawless finish. Contemporary furniture where the grain and polish have to speak for themselves. Every job is different but the standard never drops.
You won't be buried in chaos or left to fight through poor planning. You'll be part of a professional workshop that's properly resourced, well-organised and built on pride in the craft. A team with decades of experience, some of it straight out of the golden age of Australian furniture making. The kind of place where polishers are valued, not taken for granted.
This role suits someone who
• Knows French polishing inside out
• Understands prep, grain, shellac and finish
• Takes pride in clean, consistent results
• Wants to work in a steady, professional environment
• Or is an apprentice who's serious about learning the craft properly from masters of the trade
What you get
• A workshop where quality comes first
• A variety of projects, from heritage to high-end
• Stability and long-term flow of work
• Respect for your craft, your standards and your time
If you're a capable polisher tired of shortcuts and rushed jobs, or an apprentice ready to learn the trade the right way, this is the shift you've been waiting for.
