I'd like to preface this with "I'm not a woodworker" Though, I do appreciate the look of wood. I just need some expert advice from the more knowledgeable here at Sawmill creek.
We just bought this table used on Craigslist: http://www.crateandbarrel.com/Family.aspx?c=883&f=14071
The crate and barrel folk recommend liberon's beeswax with turpentine. The previous owners have applied the liberon's beeswax a few times since they bought the table 18 months ago. The table still looks new to me. Is Liberon's a good pastewax to continue using? We prefer the naturally finished look (non-plastic non-shiny look) but would like to add a bit more protection without changing the look. The table will get a quite a bit of daily use. Any suggestions? We ordered the Liberon's Beeswax with turpentine, but after reading through some of the threads in this forum, we are not sure anymore. We will be heeding the advice of crate and barrel and use coasters, place mats, etc. Any additional protection advice will be helpful. Thank you.
