Introducing a New to the Market Handmade Wax Finish – Crafted for Precision and Performance.
As a competitive axe thrower at Axe On Axe Off, I had a need for a smooth and consistent finish on the handle that not only felt great but also allowed for a flawless release. Through my journey as a woodworker, I knew a high-quality wax finish would provide the soft touch and reliable release I was looking for.
Designed with the competitive edge in mind, I personally blend a variety of waxes to achieve the right formulation. I also like to use a touch of chalk dust on my hand to help combat the added pressure during intense competitions. This blend offers a unique, smooth finish that enhances both the feel and performance of your equipment.
I’m excited to share this product with you, and I hope it delivers the same precision and satisfaction I’ve experienced. Enjoy the smooth release and refined performance that only a handmade, carefully crafted wax can offer.
Preparation: This product is best applied to bare wood. To remove old finishes, first scrape the surface, or you can achieve the same result by sanding. Final sanding should not exceed 400 grit for optimal results. If applying over an existing finish, ensure it is fully cured and sanded smooth with no higher than 400 grit.
Application: Use an applicator pad to apply a thin, even coat of wax over the entire surface.
Drying: Allow the wax to dry for 15 minutes to 2 hours, depending on temperature and humidity.
Buffing: Once dry, buff the surface with a cotton rag or buffing wheel to achieve a smooth, polished finish.
Safety Note: When applying to blades or sharp edges, always ensure the direction of wiping and buffing is safe to avoid injury.
Additional Tips: Always test on a small, inconspicuous area before full application. More buffing will create additional sheen. Wax can be easily touched up by re-buffing or adding another application as needed.
