Last I checked one doesnt need glasses when looking at wood...Are these before and after.I need glasses if so cause they look the same
How did these turn out after your wax on/ wax off
clearly
In a way... that's a good thing right? I know it's your mod but I'd be upset if the color changed in the slightest degree lol. That and if it isn't holding the oils and wax causing the color to change then that would mean it was stabilized correctly?

Wood tends to dry out over time etc.
It's almost like the colour of your car fading until you restore it to its natural splendour with a good wax!
If the mod isn't sealed with a sealer then the wood does dry out and change colour... the coconut oil brings it back to it's glory and the renaissance wax seals it in and protects it.
This stuff is great
If you leave out the Renaissance Wax and just use Coconut Oil then if they don't turn out well you could eat them. Reckon it would taste like Banting Bread Oh don't swallow the magnetsThey are nearly the same... but they smell better!
Ah I understand now. Felt like an ANC member in woodwork class for a minute there.
Wax your wood... noted.

More Before and afters! 
Gotta love Coconut Oil!
So Last week My Hellfire went in for a much needed SPA treatment. The wood was very dull and I could feel the grains when I held it. So after chatting with @Takie I was told to send it to him. I am over the moon with the job he did. Buttery Smooth now.

Thank you @Takie for a Job well done. Well worth every cent paid for this treatment.

Is there anyone here in Cape Town who will sell me a little of Renaissance Wax.
please.
thanks.
please.
thanks.
Regarding woods, what is the locally available alternative to Renaissance Wax? Does this buff out juice stains, and does it prevent juice stains from condensation or a leak? I want something for a wooden stand thing which has a stained patch from juice..
I have no idea what type of wood it is, it's actually on a brand new tv stand at my sister's lol, nobody has seen it but I was hoping there was some way to remove it, maybe I should give the whole stand a coat of ejuice to make it look even
One more thing, once the wood mod is treated is it supposed to feel/look shiny with the protective layer?
As I understand the options like coconut oil or mineral oil are applied first, and then the sealant is applied once that has completely dried. If you know of any sealants or waxes that are locally available that would work for the second step please give me the names.. Wood isn't very forgiving so I just want to be very sure before applying anything..

I think its safer to leave the TV stand alone and deny all knowledge if confronted
Seriously though if you can't work out what its finished with I wouldn't touch it unless as you suggest you're prepared to possibly end up sanding it down completely.I wouldn't use Coconut Oil.
Mineral Oil is non drying and thats why its usual (depending on application) to use another product over it as a finish coat.You can use wax for this and its the wax that gives it the finish not the mineral oil.
Its also possible to mix a mineral oil and wax but thats not something I've tried.
If you specifically want to finish a wood mod then a combination of mineral oil and wax is not really the best way to go as it doesn't give a particularly hard wearing finish.Obviously the same is true for furniture.
If you use a drying oil then you don't need a wax.
If you let me know what you want to do I can maybe recommend something.
