Beeswax Polish:  Give your spinning wheel or loom a beautiful natural finish with this polishing wax containing pure beeswax. The smooth matte finish protects the wood and gives it a beautiful shine.  Easy to apply with a soft cloth or brush. After this, let it dry before polishing with a lint-free cloth. Rub in the direction of the wood grain until a nice warm sheen appears.  For best results, we recommend applying multiple layers, especially on the end-grain areas. Protect the product from moisture for about 4 weeks.  Keep out of reach of children. Do not use near a flame or heat source.
