I had an old recipe for wood finish that was extremly durable and reparable. it was 1/3 bees wax, 1/3 linseed oil and this is the I forgot question, I think it was 1/3 turpintine but can not remember for sure. It was a great gun stock finish for that hand rubbed style. Any help here?
TIA,
Bob

Never tried bees wax. I use tung oil. I make furniture from scratch and sometimes for a hand finish I'll use tung oil, linseed oil, and thin with turpintine. The 1/3 proportions are correct, but it takes about 6 coats to get all the pores filled, with light sanding in between to knock the grain down. Forgot to mention, most stores that sell "tung oil finish" have this stuff already mixed in.
 
Vince44,
was yours 1/3 each of tung and linseed or was that an or tung oil or linseed oil thinned with turpintine?

The traditional one is 1/3 beeswax, 1/3 BLO (not LO), and 1/3 turpentine ... but I have found that substituting an orange based solvent for the turpentine yields the same results and a MUCH more pleasant mixture to work with!

Have fun and stay safe,
