When we bought our house a couple of years ago we were gifted this table. It needed refinished then and it has taken me this long to decide how I wanted to go about it.
My husband wanted it to be all wood still and not painted (I was thinking of painting it teal) but I really wanted a natural finish so I decided just to sand it all down and figure out what to do after that.
I kinda thought that it would be best to do something very durable like a polyurethane (so toxic) but I didn't want to do that for a whole bunch of reasons. So then I thought, well maybe I should do something natural like an oil finish or something, but those aren't particularly very natural either so I just decided that the table isn't even solid wood so who cares if the wax turns out awful and it gets all messed up. So I made the wax and boy am I glad I did!
In the video I show you the steps I took and I give more details on how it has been working out the last few weeks.

The Wax 30 g of beeswax 90 g of coconut oil Melt to combine in a double boiler Apply warm for a deeper saturation or cooled for easy buffing.
