Food-safe pure raw linseed oil, & beeswax right from the hives. This all natural beeswax Wood Balm is crafted in small batches on my farmstead in Minnesota. I use beeswax from a father-son honey farm local to me, lightly filtered and beautifully fragrant. My recipe is based in history - a mixture of beeswax and linseed oil that has been used for centuries to treat, clean, condition, seal, and protect wood. To be honest this stuff is kind of amazing! And it smells really good, too. Suitable for tough old wooden tool handles and wooden kitchen utensils alike, there are no hidden, harmful ingredients - just beeswax and raw linseed oil. Use: First, test in a small area to ensure desired results. In cooler ambient temperatures it is helpful to warm the Wood Balm in your fingers before applying. Apply a thin layer using your hands, a cotton/linen cloth, soft brush, or natural sponge. Let set & dry; most of the Balm should absorb. Wipe off any excess or apply more as needed.
