When I first started finishing furniture with wax, I stayed with clear.
Honestly, I loved the look of the dark, but it intimidated me.
That was a long time ago. Once I tried it (many projects ago), I used it often.
I recently found a new wax that has me totally smitten. It's an antique wax that does not require clear wax first!
WOO HOO - less time, less money!
It transforms a piece immediately.
Antique wax can give the piece an old world feel.
It will provide a rich finish.
It will transform colors, adding depth.
Again, dark wax over black provides a rich finish.
I always use dark wax over red. It tones down the color and highlights the detail.
I did this yesterday. Antique wax directly on a stained table top.
Look at the rich, deep finish it provides.
It will also protect your paint or table top.
To clean a waxed finish, simply use a damp cloth.
Bottom line: don't fear the dark wax. It's your friend and will completely transform your treasures.
