Having been in disrepair for many years, there were numerous cracks and dents in this vintage 1940s Harmony archtop. Using some power tools and considerable sandpaper, I stripped the original finish(es) from this guitar, then used Amber shellac to give the guitar a fresh, but still vintage-y, finish.
