Sam shows his process for heating up a beeswax and mineral oil finish. This procedure must be focused on safety. The only problem is finding some beeswax.

    I am learning so much watching your videos. Thank you for going to so much effort! I do have a suggestion for you and others making your own mixtures. I learned this lesson the hard way when making herbal salves. Make sure your jars are somewhat close to the temperature of the hot mix you're pouring in them. Too much temperature difference and the glass will break, occasionally even explosively if the temperature difference is too great. Usually it will just break the sides loose from the bottom. What I do now is to warm the jars if they have cooled, and set them in a large baking pan. This way if the jar does break I dont have a huge mess to clean up and I don't lose/waste the material. For some people beeswax is hard to locate and when found is expensive.Hope this is helpful and keep up the good work!

    Sam I've done this with beeswax and mineral oil. Really nice. I also added sunscreen to it and tested it on cherry. It still "sun tanned" as in darkened but no where near the speed it does without the sun block. I use Bullfrog for Kids and added two tablespoons to eight ounces of beeswax/mineral oil. My mineral oil to beeswax was about 2 fluid ounces of mineral oil and 6 fluid ounces of beeswax. My thought was to protect cherry furniture from occasional sunlight.

    Hi Sam - I am a long time subscriber and watch all of your videos. Just a comment please. I communicate regularly with Annikas Kostas in Greece (His videos are also very worth watching). In conversation, I told him that I made a wax with beeswax / Olive Oil . He commented back that using olive oil was not a god choice because Olive Oil never really dries. (He is very familiar with olives and olive wood for turning on his farm on Kefalonia Island in Greece). So I accept his knowledge. So the comment you made on using mineral oil rather than olive oil rings true with me. Just a little information that I would like to pass on. Thanks for your videos - always very informative. Regards Dennis Beamish Cambridge Ontario Canada PS - What an awesome new shop you built in Montana - has to be the envy of every wood turner!!!

    Dennis, I would think Olive oil would work. One caution however: Olive oil is like a vegetable oil-it might become rancid. (I don't think i is likely to happen though). But I feel it is important to use a non drying oil. I am not sure what would happen if you used, say, varnish or poly. It would eventually dry. I use my mixture mainly for wet sanding. Sam

    Annie Excellent question. This is a concern when you have a surface that is already finished or is finished with a particular type of finish. Mineral spirits is a solvent. It CAN degrade or wear away a finish over time. Although I think it would take many applications over a number of years. Here is another example. Some spray furniture cleaners or spray products used for dusting can actually have solvents like mineral spirits in them. I never recommend these for furniture as they will dull the finish over time. Hope this helps. Sam

    Thanks, Sam. Good info. One correction of your terminology: You were not using a double boiler; you were using a water bath. A double boiler is made up of two pans. The bottom pan contains water and the top pan fits into the rim of the bottom pan. In use, the top pan is heated by the steam from the boiling water in the bottom pan. A water bath helps heat things evenly, but the bottom of what ever you're heating is still in contact with the bottom of the pan and can get much hotter than the surrounding water. That's not the case with a double boiler. Whatever you're heating will never get hotter than the water -- which can make a double boiler safer for melting wax.

    +sasika weerasinghe Sasika, the main issue is for a finish to be a finish.....it must dry. Poly, varnish, linseed oil and many others will dry and harden and last a long time. The mineral oil/wax mixture is a quick fix for a breadboard but only last a short time, maybe 2 or 3 weeks. Plus the beeswax/mineral oil mix may impart some taste: (what are you going to drink from these)? I would go with an oil, maybe tung oil or a wipe on poly. But there are many others which you could use. Don't use shellac or lacquer!!!! Let me know what you decide. Sam

    I've not tried this myself but an old school beekeepers trick, is to wrap the dirty comb up in hessian (burlap) with something heavy (brick or rock). Chuck it in container of boiling water, preferably outside (don't know what your domestic arrangements are but she who must be obeyed, will not be amused if you try this in the kitchen)using a cut down oil drum or similar. The theory is, that weight will hold the wax and hessian below the surface, as the water boils and melts the wax, the molten wax will seep through the hessian leaving the debris behind. When the water cools the clean wax floating on top will solidify. Hope this helps, let me know. Regards Max

He applied sunscreen directly to the wood and it worked fairly well. I started adding it to my beeswax/mineral oil blend. I use Bullfrog for Kids (for sensitive skin as I have sun allergies as well as am a burn victim and this does not make have an allergic reaction to my skin). I tried it on my Hal Taylor inspired rocker made of American Cherry and it worked very well. Direct sunlight on any surface will win, but the little amount of travel the sun rays passed across my rocker did not darken the cherry.

    Mineral oil is better than most vegetable oils when used on food contact items such as cutting boards and wooden utensils. Continual use of most vegetable oils eventually will leave a putrid smell embedded in to wood from the natural oils oxidizing and will transfer to your foods.

    Will this wax protect metal tools from rust?

    Trewq I think it possibly could protect metal from rust but would ear off and may need to be re applied. I think many turning or woodworking will simply not rust-mostly cause the normally get wet. If a tool is prone to rust it probably will rust no matter what you do to it. Sam

    Though it would probably need to be reapplied, it would probably last longer than just oil by itself. Just an assumption

    Martha Ponce Hi Martha! Beeswax and Mineral Oil are both food safe, so the mixture is a great finish for wooden elements (bowls, spoons, chopping boards, etc) that will be in touch with food. The paste that I show in the video of my previous comment to Sam's video, adds also Tripoli powder as an abrasive. Tripoli powder can be found as Food safe Diatomaceous Earth, which in turn, used in combination with the beeswax and mineral oil will also make a food safe finish for wood. Let me know if you have more questions! Cheers! Daniel
