How To Make Your Own Beeswax Furniture Polish

At The Good Mod we love to find a piece of mid century modern or industrial style furniture in original conditions, but in reality many items need reworking and refinishing. We take great pride in our build and refinishing projects and if you have been to our warehouse you probably noticed our workshop and DIY room. We really appreciate a fun DIY project so just our luck to stumble upon a great tutorial explaining how Amber Dusick makes her own beeswax polish.

It is simple project where all you need is a cheese grader, oil, and beeswax. Click here to read Amber's full instructions:
