Any one got a beeswax wood polish recipe they want to share that they swear by?

Yes, but not sharing :-)
You need some Carnauba wax added, beeswax only gives a sticky dust collecting finish.

Okay ....
250mls of turps.
12.5gm of Carnauba wax
100gm of bees wax.

I use a bottle inside a pan of boiling water, dissolve the carnauba wax first as it dissolves at a higher temp than the bees wax, pour into tins and allow to set.
I sell a lot of these each year and most come back for more, it gives a really good hard shine
