wood finish beeswax and oil recipe
You can add the same amount of beeswax as the other ingredients (1/3 oil, 1/3 turpentine, 1/3 beeswax) or you can add slightly less beeswax. this just depends on how you prefer your finish. there really are so many variations, so that’s why it’s good to just start off with this simple recipe of three equal parts.. In researching traditional recipes, i found a range of formulations, from 1 part wax added to 4 parts oil (1:4), all the way up to 1 part wax and 8 parts oil (1:8). for this recipe i used 1:4. i poured 8 oz. of stand oil into a mason jar and then added 2 oz. of beeswax. i put this in a water bath on the stove and turned the heat to low..
