Hey Chris,

The mixture of bees wax and turpentine can be purchased in a fine =
furniture wax. It's called Lord Sheraton's Pure Beeswax Balsam. I have =
used it to finish Naked Raku and pit fired works. I don't know if it's =
available in the states as I bought it while living in the U.K. Its =
kinda a waxy paste but much thinner than regular wax polish. Tiny bit =
goes a long way. Makes you work smell like turps and linseed oil for a =
VERY long time.

Peace,
