★ PART 1 FORMULA ★
75% Boiled Linseed Oil / 25% Shellac
To make a 25oz mixture use 18oz of BLO mixed with 6oz of shellac. Technically the shellac and BLO will not fully incorporate. This is a good thing! This allows the BLO to soak down into the wood while the shellac remains on the surface for a more protective finish. You will need to shake this mixture very well before each use. It is very important that used rags are properly dried because they can spontaneously combust!!
1. Shake well.
2. Rub elixir into wood with a lint free rag.
3. After 15 minutes wipe off any standing oil.
4. Set out used rags to dry before discarding.
5. Wait 24 hours and apply wax.
6. Make more stuff.

★ PART 2 WAX ★
1 part carnauba Wax / 1 part beeswax / 4 parts boiled linseed oil / 2 parts citrus solvent.
To make 12 fluid ounces of this wax you'll need to melt in a double boiler 1 oz by weight of beeswax, 1 oz by weight of carnauba wax, 4 oz by weight of boiled linseed oil and 2 oz by weight of citrus solvent.
1. Rub on with grey Scotch-Brite pad. Wait 30 minutes.
2. Rub off with white Scotch-Brite pad. Enjoy for a lifetime.
