For those who might be looking for a fine finish from the past, Google (Beeswax Finishes) and you will find a number of the fine finishes that were used by out ancestors. The beauty of the old beeswax finishes is that a wool cloth buffed them back to a like new luster, and mars and scratches were quickly removed or covered. You can also mix stains with melted bees wax to make your own custom rub on scratch removers. Crayons can also be used to color the wax as well. Beeswax was applied warm to wood that was also warmed, sometimes to the point of almost being hot to the touch and thus the first coat penetrated deep into the wood. You can also use beeswax and a heat gun to restore wood windows back to their original "one finger" ease of operation.
