Re: Wonderful oral history and traditions

Yup, Gramps taught me and he had the collective wisdom of previous generations. Petrochemical stuff which is in most commercial "polish" is bad. Johnson's is just wax. Antiquax is nothing but beeswax and carnauba. No lemon oil in my family tree. Now I'll have to find some and try it.
Fella named Jeff Jewitt is a Conservator, wrote a book on hand applied finishes. Contracts to museums. Check him out. Did a Google search for wax and Smithsonian didn't find much but they have the finest collection of 18th and 19th century antiques. Wonder what they use?
