Chop the bee's wax up into chunks and put them in the mixing bowl, then boil a pot of water on the stove and float the mixing bowl in it (like a double boiler). Let the wax melt, stir in the bottle of mineral oil, mix until you get consistency of cake icing, then pour it into a peanut butter or other wide-mouthed jar. As I sand through the grits, I rub the sandpaper in the goo then take it to the lathe. A batch lasts for a long time, is cheap to make, keeps dust down on the lathe, leaves a nice luster, and forces you to follow Duane's advice ("Use sandpaper like somebody else is paying for it.")<br><br>Two caveats ... your finished piece may have a nice sweet bouquet, and you may not want to use the mixing bowl for anything else!<br><br>Gerry<br><br>Gerald R.

I have never used it because I have not tried hard enough top<br>find a source. But if anyone knows a bee keeper, I think you would end<br>up with a lifetime source of the stuff. This got me thinking, can't you<br>buy honey in the comb? Buy that for your toast or pancakes, wash the<br>residual honey off the comb when it's gone and heat it in a double<br>boiler to melt it into a lump.
