Hi All

I posted my Joseph Elliots a few days ago with Natural Beech scales, and I had a question but I think it got diluted amonst all the information about the resto.

What do you use to get a natural wood finish, but still protected enough to be exposed to water the way a razor is?

I already put beeswax on it, but somehow it still doesnt feel protected. I put on several light coats over several days, letting each coat dry thoroughly. I then put on a thick "overcoat" and polished the beeswax back so that the surface was nice and flat. It feels like it is just not protected at all at the moment, and water soaks straight into the scales, not balling on the surface like I expected it too.

Thanks for the help!
