Beeswax Wood Butter

[Yankee11]

So Jen, you already do the wood butter?

Yea, look up some stuff on walnut oil, I like the way they say it hardens as opposed to mineral or coconut oil.

S0 7.00 for 4 ounces. That makes the 2oz tins 3.50.  I was thinking 4.00. The walnut oil is a little more cost wise than coconut or Mineral.

one day, I am going to get time to do some nice woodworking again.  That wood butter sounds wonderful.  Since I am staying in Texas and won't be putting in much garden next spring (why bother, just grow in the greenhouse, maybe I will get time)

i did some googling on the walnut oil, coconut oil, vs mineral oil.  mineral oil never goes rancid.  walnut oil and coconut oil take some time before they do go rancid, compared to all other oils that get rancid in a very short period of time.

i would go with the 4 bucks yankee on the 2 oz tins, amazing what this stuff sells for sold in stores.

Just another something.

Beeswax Wood Butter for cutting boards, wood bowls, wood spoons.

All natural, no petroleum products, beeswax and walnut oil.

My dad made a cutting board recently for my step-son, and liberally coated it with beeswax.  I'll try to get a picture of it and post it.

Yankee- "So Jen, you already do the wood butter?

Yep! for about a year now. The man that makes the wood kitchen ware said that the recipe that I follow, that I got from him, is the one used for church pews back in the day.

Yes, I like the 4 bucks for 2 ounces. Here's the thing tho, some buyers may want to coat an entire player piano, or church pews, ya know... so think about selling a tin that has more ounces to it for the big jobs.

Love the term 'butter'

The thing that I love about making this product is that it's so darned easy and fast. Smells sooo good too

i would do some research before applying to anything other than what it's meant for, ie, an expensive musical instrument. i do have 3 (guitars) and it is not recommended.  church pews no problem. my leather boots ......LOL. i have seen beeswax used and  applied to many other wood surfaces with mixtures of teak oil and other oils.

also, as a side note, NEVER let an ambitious teenager (in your absence), loose on your finished oak hardwood floors with a spray bottle of lemon oil/orange oil...........
otherwise, you WILL have an indoor skating rink with side rooms..........LOL!!!!

Leather? Oooooo, I might have to experiment with that    hmmmm

I found a great use for the walnut/beeswax butter today. I was cutting boxes with my new finger joint sled. It was sticking slightly
as I pushed it back and forth over the blades. So I came in and grabbed my test tin. Rubbed it on the slides and bottom of the sled.
Man, it slid back and forth very easy after that.

Here's a picture of a couple of orders I sat on front porch for pick up today. I ordered 72 tins and they are all gone. That's crazy.

[Jen]

Well Yankee! Ya better enjoy this now! It's been your year to shine. As of January 1, 2015 it will be someone else's turn... 

Love your products, professional, clean, attractive 


   Geez, I got so wrapped up in the lotion bars and my Wood Bee New, that I forgot to make the fondant for my bees  guess what I'm doing tomorrow?

Ok, I had a lady make me spew coffee everywhere this morning, She sent me a message and this is her quote.

" When are you gonna bring me the stuff to lubricate my wood with, that sounded really bad, lol"

I was taking a swig of coffee when I read it. Been laughing all day. Just puts a whole new meaning to it.

Maybe a new market? 

Now that's funny.
