Feels good don't it. Keep it sealed up or tiny insects will lay eggs on it and when you go to get it there is sawdust like holes in it ruined.

Time to make some lip balms and such now.  That's what I do with my wax.

It makes great furniture polish and can be used to add a great shine to your shoes--and water-proof them at the same time.

Thanks for all the great advice. I got several here at work asking for lip balm. Now just gotta figure out how to make it.

In summertime I gather up my tools with wooden handles and rough em up with sandpaper then rub in a linseed oil/beeswax wood treatment I made and leave in the sun. Handles last a lot longer in our humid climate and won't slip in my hand.
