If you were to decide upon a wax coating as a period finish what type of wax might you consider? Maybee bee's wax! Carnauba (palm tree wax) is one of the hardest waxes I am familiar with so this might be a good place to start discussing wax finishes on period pieces. Much of the Eastern shore of the States (especially inland) didn't have access to palm trees so what wax finishes might they have used? Then lets talk waxes as a support medium for grain fillers.
