Awhile back I got a large chunk of bees wax from Fred Arnold. I have been working on a sinew backed Utah juniper and wanted to use a home made sealer. I read a bunch of how tow online and decided on a recipe. The sealer/conditioner is made from 1 part beeswax, and 3 parts olive oil, with a bit of lemon oil. It dawned on me that my front double doors of my house face south, and get sun most of the day year round. I went out and applied the concoction to one of the doors to see if I could tell the difference. Wow. You be the judge, can you tell what one is done and what one isn't?

I can see a difference, but I don't know which is which. Is your sealing solution liquid when cold?--and show us the progress on your juniper bow. I want to compare notes. Mine has held weight for a week now, so I will be tillering it very soon.

The sealer sets up at room temp, but melts at body temp.
