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 coaster, so only a little water drops got on the table. I wiped water with towel after dinner.

Next morning, I see those spots where I wiped water drops, looking like water stain!!

a few drops of water and wiping it with towel lightly, the bees wax came off?!

I see original wood color on those spots. Ugh!

I applied Bees Wax again on those spots, feathered all edges with soft cloth, tried to blend all with dried parts... well it's not so easy, and I'm afraid that every time we spill some water or anything, I have to clean, and have to apply Wax again?

If anyone have similar issue or/and solution to this please let me know.

The product itself is good, easy to use, if you are just looking for something to restore or protect your wooden surface, but if you want to keep the wood color light, or expecting low-maintenance protection, this product is not suitable for the needs.

I wish this Bees Wax didn't contain that much oil, and only add clear protection to wood.

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 not experience any discoloration or any need to re-apply to balance out anything. I realize I sound like a shill but I was reviewing my review and saw the other review that had made me hesitate before purchase, so I felt like addressing it. Personally I get a lot from these reviews, so I try to help others the way you people help me. So, as stated above, I can recommend this to treat real wood.

Beeswax is the choice of furniture restorers and antique dealers everywhere. The finish lasts much longer than petrochemicals and the shine cannot be beat. Also unlike petrochemical waxes, beeswax does not attract dust. This wax costs more, but in the long run it is more economical than the synthetics.

I bought two jars of this natural furniture polish and have been very happy with it. I used a soft cloth to rub it into my wooden deck furniture from Ikea (made out of acacia wood). It smells nice, but is only mildly scented and not too strong. It left the wood with a lovely shine and deeper color. I had to use a second cloth a day later to finish rubbing off the excess polish, because the surface was a little tacky after application (probably because I used a little too much when applying). Works very well!
