Does anyone know of a recipe for a beeswax wood polish that is similar to Three Beeautiful Bees Beeswax Polish?

I have searched the web, but I have only found recipies with Turpentine. I would prefer something with out this.

Thanks!!!!

Betsy - my absolute FAVORITE beeswax polish comes from Nova Natural and is made of nothing more than beeswax and mineral oil. How simple is that? It has a runny-ish consistency, so there is a lot of mineral oil in there. I really hope to make some myself this summer, but I'm not sure how to incorporate the mineral oil into the beeswax - old pot on the stove probably. I'd say the consistency is like a lemon curd desert - is that a helpful description? It is the nicest polish I've ever found and really does a beautiful job on my kitchen table.

Does this happen to anyone else....????

I searched the internet for a recipe for this and couldn't find what I was looking for anywhere! I even emailed Mountain Rose Herbs if they knew of a recipe...no luck.
So, I posted here.

After I posted I found this recipe and this one.

So...Jennifer, let me know if you try this. I hope to get to this soon too!
