    Default To Bees wax or not to Bees wax

    Hi All, I am currently doing up an old set of cupboards. I think they are made out of oak. I am trying to figure out what to finish it with. I have some bees wax and am wondering if that is the best idea or not. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

    Bees wax can attract dust that will be worked into the wood, not a good longterm idea. Use U-Beaut traditional furniture wax, it's much better.
