Polish Your Furniture with Daddy Van's All-Natural Beeswax and Lavender Blend

Lon: Good, clean and natural wax that finishes well. Something more liquidly would be a better choice for large furniture though.

That Jamaican: I used this wax to bring new life to a thrifted dresser. Worked great. Applies easy, gives the dresser a nice matte shine. Good value for the price as a little goes a long way. Water doesn’t penetrate. Seems to form a durable protective coating. Doesn’t change the color of the furniture which is great. Great for inside of drawers too.

Karan M. Murtha: I have used this product on multiple projects including some distressed wood plant stands, over bare wood inside some desk drawers, over chalk paint on a spice rack, a file cabinet, a French-style chair frame and a storage trunk, to seal wood and metal parts of my garden tools, and on stained wood on two desk chairs and there's still a little bit left in the tin (I've just ordered another tin for future projects). A little does go a long way.

I personally find the lavender scent pleasant. It's strongest when applying and buffing and not too noticeable when set.

The product is easy to use. The directions indicate a soft cloth can be used to apply, but I have also used a brush to apply and both techniques worked for me.

Just based on the directions on the underside of the tin, I wasn't sure if I needed to wait between the application and buffing, so there can be a bit of a learning curve, but ultimately I still got a good finish on my projects whether I waited some minutes or not.

Graham McFadyen Hill: I use this product on my antique wooden furniture. It is an excellent polish and protective finish, and makes my house smell just like Granny's.

Shawna: I had been searching for a natural polish for my antique dining set that I recently purchased in pretty poor condition. It took a lot of elbow grease and scrubbing to get all the old polish off and made the wood seem dull. This polish breathed new life into the set, it looks like it could be in a showroom! Great smell (does not smell terribly like beeswax, if you are averted to that smell like I am) and very easy to use. A little goes a log way so one tin will last you a while. Will purchase again!

K. G. Berliner: Got a new solid wood desk from Crate and Barrel. Wanted protection from accidental water.

Applied wax with part of clean cloth. Waited a few minutes, the wiped/buffed it dry with unused part of cloth. It gave the maple wood a nice deep even color. Not shiny, but a nice gentle sheen. Smelled very good for about a day. 3 days later still looks great. Not sure how often I'll have to do this, but I would definitely use this on new wood furniture for initial protection. OMG, I think I just recommended buffing my wood with this wax for protection!

Also, I was a little nervous due to the review describing darkening the wood due to oil. Although I cannot comment on his situation, when I applied the wax, the color became more uniform. I would not describe the effect as oily or shiny at all but rather a very subtle sheen. I can barely notice it is there. Also, I tested it with a couple drops of water... this is by no means waterproof, but it is effective at making the wood water resistant (or tolerant). I tested the wood by dropping a couple drops of water on my desk... the water beaded up nicely. Once a towel was applied, the water much preferred the towel to the desk. I did...

K. Okada: I purchased solid large Teak Dining table and bench, and wanted keep the natural colors while protecting/water proofing the surface. The furniture store rep told me that if I use Oil, it would make the wood darker, and recommended Bees Wax, that shouldn't change the color of wood.

After visiting a few local stores and searching online, this product came up, and I saw high customer ratings and positive comments, and chose this product over other Bees Wax products.

First, the container is a bit smaller than I expected. and second, this Bees Wax contains so much oil, my hands got very oily after finishing just top of table, and it DID made the wood darker like oil!

I hoped it would get lighter when it's dry, and waited for 10~15 minutes, then go wipe with clean soft cloth. The color still seemed dark and shiny from the oil (olive oil) blended in the Wax.

I waited for another night, hoping the oil get dry and wood gets lighter color... well it didn't. It stayed dark even when it's completely dry.

I'm not happy with the result, this bees wax darken the color of wood.

A few weeks later, we had Thanks giving dinner, we used place mats and...
