You, sir, are sadly missed. The turners today are all under the control of sponsors.

Beautiful finishes especially the oil soaked piece. What oil do you use and can other oils also be used? Also I see you use the loose cotton buff wheels. Do they produce better results than a stitched cotton buff ? I make knives and wondered if I could get Deven better finishes with the loose cotton wheels??

I didn’t know we needed to remove the excess from the wheel. Thanks!!

Thanks. I tried it with BLO on first with unhappy results. I'll give your method a try tomorrow.

Sir Fairfield, thank you for this. I'm about to test this wax method on driftwood cookies. Wish me luck

I’ve been rubbing a paraffin candle on my wood pieces and buffing it out. I was just now looking for videos on making a wax paste because for some reason I thought it would be better. Then I came upon your video which made me realize I don’t need a paste! Thank you 😊

I never heard you say anything about either the initial compound (was that brown Tripoli?) or what kind of wax you used. 😞

This is how I remember getting taught in Wood Shop classes back in the 80's. It's a slow, methodical, and fun process to get wood pieces polished and waxed just right. I like how he mentions about getting the piece flung across the room! LOL, I can't tell you how many times that happened to me back then! God, I am sooooo lucky that I never got whacked or hit anyone else.

I would love to try this on my ash guitar body. Would putting a water based sanding sealer on the wood prior to staining inhibit the wax from settling into the grain?

Hi David, I have much the same questions. If you learned anything (both what works and what doesn't), would you mind sharing some of your knowledge?

Parrafin wax in itself is not protective at all nor is it durable. The better wax is a beeswax/carnuaba mix. Carnuaba on its own is too brittle so it is best applied using inexpensive beeswax/carnauba mix. Built up in thin coats with 24hrs between each allowing surface oxidation and hardening...then re buff, and then add a second coat. Repeat one more time and you will have a super finish with better protection than parrafin wax alone which has little to recommend it other than price. All waxes will darken a natural fiish even if sightly. The best traditional finish imho is acieved using blended finishing oils (boiled linseed with a little walnut and tung oil, and a little turpentine to thin) to 4 or 5 coats left for about a week then apply a high quality carnuaba and beeswax paste such as Antique Wax or Liberon Black Bison wax. It leaves a glass like, almost French polish finish but with much better protection. I'm a professional cabinet maker by way of qualification for these remarks.

- wax finishes are there to make something appear polished not to be protective nor be durable. - beeswax/carnauba mix is called paste wax. - from personal testing pretty much every oils do the same thing. out of the 3 listed.. BLO dries the fastest followed by tung oil which is hard to absorb by the wood followed by walnut which can take forever to dry but absorbs easily and doesnt yellow wood nearly as much. your mix is effectively a slightly less yellow version of just using BLO diluted with turpentine that will take much longer to fully dry and cure. - "almost French polish finish but with much better protection" that doesnt make sense. wax can never be more protective than shellac a film finish nor can oils. - also a note on tradtional finishes, they're most often misused such as in the case of that comment imo. ancestors had plenty of free time to go around re-polishing (waxing) their furniture, it was most likely part of their cleaning routine once a week. they also didnt have access to lacquer, polyurathene, epoxy and most couldnt afford french polishing. so, oils and waxs were most likely used because they were cheap, easy to refurbish/repurpose the wood and easy to re-polish/maintain. use products as they are intended like our ancestors, dont try to make them do something they werent made for by coming up with weird concoctions. use the right modern products if you want proper protection or spend the time french polishing.
