Marge: Sorry to be late in giving you an answer about finding beeswax. Go to a fabric store or one that sells quilting supplies. Sometimes when I sew by hand, I run the thread through the beeswax to keep it from tangling or twisting. Another source would be a beekeeper. It is a by product of the honeycombs. As kids, we loved to chew it.

Some churches burn beeswax candles and usually are willing to part with the
candle stubbs.

different auctions for it. Same people I think. sherry morrow

Hey Carole,
I have been following the discussion about beeswax finishes. I also do =
Naked Raku and I also polish my pieces with beeswax. Best stuff I have =
found is Lord Sheraton's Pure Beeswax Balsam (mixture of beeswax, =
turpentine, and linseed oil). I found this when living in England and I =
have an English friend who keeps me supplied. It may be available over =
the internet though I'm not sure. A very close runner-up to this is =
Howard's Feed-N-Wax. This is a combination of beeswax, carnauba wax and =
orange oil and can be found at Bed Bath and Beyond. Apply both of these =
products sparingly and use a lint free cloth or chamois to buff. Hope =
this helps you in your search!
Peace,
