<div>Ralph, some of the pieces were finished with Howard's Feed 'n Wax - some were stained with Watco Satin Wax, I mixed Natural & Dark until I had the desired color, then I buffed by hand. Some I've finished with a cream shoe polish. Most recently I tried leather preservative, some of the beeswax formulas result in a dark finish, the silicone formulas give a lighter finish, after applying the preservative I use a hair dryer to heat the product to make it penetrate the wood; after a few days I spray Deft Clear Wood Finish Satin as a topcoat.<br>
