Wood By Wright Homemade Paste Wax. This Pastewax is made from all local ingredients and made in small batches. We are currently offering the two variants that I usually use in my shop. The Beeswax is rendered from Raw honeycomb that I purchase from a local apiary.Hard Wax Is Made from two parts Beeswax to one part Raw Linseed oil. The Raw linseed oil is cold-pressed from Flax seeds. This wax is perfect for Plane and saw lubrication and rust prevention. I will normally keep the block on my bench to lubricate planes and saws as needed. Each block is about 3 oz of wax and comes wrapped in wax paper. So you can grab the puck of wax and rub it directly on the steel. This wax is also food safe so you could use it as a finish for cutting boards and the like thought it will need heat from rubbing with a polisher or heat gun to work it down into the wood.The Soft wax is made from two parts Bees Wax, two parts Home Made Boiled Linseed Oil, and one part mineral spirits (White Spirits). They come in about 4 oz containers. You can wipe on a surface, let it harden, and then polish off the rest. I use this for furniture and the final shine for most finishes. Often, for hand tools, I will use this after a couple of coats of BLO, and it has a fantastic wood feel when done. Due to the thinner, I would not consider this food safe.Some pucks fo the hard wax may have darker flecks on the bottom. This is wax that was slightly overcooked. It does not affect performance or use. The colors on all waxes may vary from batch to batch due to the natural variance in Beeswax color and cooking temperature.As this is a new product, please let me know if you have any concerns, ideas, or suggestions on making these better.
