    Your end result on how the wood finishs is all in the prepwork,I take wood down to 800 grit than make a slurry of almond oil and Rottonstone (tripoli)burnish the wood until it gets quite warm with the slurry and a soft cloth.
    Wipe down well than I use multiple coats of renwax,Have used beeswax in the past,but ren works well for me.
    You can buy pre-mixed beeswax in liquid form.
    You just cannot replicate the old world look of fine hardwoods with polys and plastics,JMO

    The Original "True Blue" Australian Leather Seal !

    This beeswax is ideal for waterproofing, conditioning and protecting not only leatherwork but timber and even your car dashboard. When applied, it seals and protects against staining and inhibits mould growth in addition to generally making things look better!

    For leather products, it does not attack stitching and allows leather to stretch. Leather Seal is a 100% natural organic product with a whiff of Aussie Eucalyptus oil. Weight 100 g (3½ oz).

    Very interesting. I have a leather product by Gilly Stephenson's that is beeswax mixed with orange oil. Might have to give it a shot on a bit of wood and see how it goes. Thanks for your help
