Homemade Wood Wax

The lemon oil in this recipe is optional but I highly suggest adding for the extra antibacterial and conditioning benefits.

Ingredients
  

  • 1oz beeswax
  • 2oz mineral oil
  • 6-12 drops lemon oil

Instructions
 

  • Set up your double boiler or use the water bath method I explained above. Test your water level by placing the jar in the put
  • If using a water bath put your beeswax and mineral oil in a clean 4oz jar. You may need to break up the beeswax to ensure it fits properly in the jar.
  • Place jar in water bath and heat jar until beeswax is fully melted.
  • Remove jar from water bath and mix in lemon oil. Let sit until wax cools and solidifies.
  • To use, coat clean rag with wax and wipe down cutting board, wooden utensils, etc. Let sit so wax soaks in and then wipe off any access.

Notes

  • Store jar under your sink or with your cutting boards. The wax shouldn't go rancid so you can double the recipe if you'd like. My 4oz jar lasts about 6 months.
