Question

They take old rough lumber and put this stuff called Bee's wax ( not sure I am spelling it right ) on it and some how, heat it up with a torch and paint it and it looks real primitve. Now I am not sure if they are painting first but it is smooth when it is finished, you can you tell me how it works?

Answer 1

There is a product called Bree wax. It comes in a can from most paint stores. You apply liberally with rags and as it sets in you buff it off and it leaves a soft sheen. The more you buff the more rustic look you will achieve.

Answer 2

Bee's wax is the actual wax that bees make to build the honeycombs that they store honey in. It is a high melting point wax that varies in color from white to dark yellow.
