Johnson paste wax

I applied regular old paraffin on a walking stick. Put the hair dryer to it, then buffed it. To each his own, I think it looks pretty good.

 

[The Miner '49er]

Neutral paste shoe polish.

 

[Phil Coffins]

None.

I'm with @Phil Coffins , I don't "wax" any gun wood at all, I feed it. My guns are used,, they ain't never meant to be shiny. But wood is wood and needs care through the seasons.
I guess what ever trips yer trigger,,(?)

I pulled out a can of Trewax and began polishing some of my gun stocks. My wife came in and asked, "What's that smell?!" Paste wax can go bad. Rancid. Throwing away the Trewax (it is probably 20 years old) and getting new. Google says you may need to have a shelf life less than a year for paste wax.

So buy what you need.

After lubing with Ballistol, I wipe the rifle down with it. Wood and all.

 

[Gun Tramp]

Neutral paste shoe polish.

Definitely my favorite.

My gun mentor puts wax around where the muzzle meets the wood. Keeping moisture out of the bedding. Watch out for drippy muzzles when you clean.

I have a bit of a newbie question on this. The stocks on my guns appear to be varnished, and the barrels of course blued. Would waxing them make any difference at all? I always thought that waxing stacks meant that the wax was absorbed by the wood. But surely this can't happen if it is varnished?
