Wood Butter

A paste made with beeswax and oil to rub onto wooden products.  It prevents wood from water & drying out and cracking.

Ingredients

  • 1 part beeswax
  • 3 parts coconut oil or other oil of your choice

Instructions

  1. Place a pint mason jar in a saucepan and fill with water half way up the jar.

  2. on the stove top, place the pan over low/medium low heat.  Put teh beeswax and oil in the jar, and heat just until melted.

  3. Off heat, stir to make an emulsion, mixing both ingredients together well.

  4. Remove from the saucepan carefully.  Allow to cool, and close the jar tightly with a lid.

  5. Use a very small amount on a rag to wipe wooden surfaces.  Too much will make the wood sticky, so use a thin coat.  Allow to sit and dry before using.
