I just bought this table on clearance: http://www.crateandbarrel.com/big-sur-natural-65-dining-table/s450898
It's a "European Oak" and unfinished. The manufacturer suggests finishing it with a Wax Paste.
I've found many different types of Wax Pastes and was wondering which one is LEAST likely to a) change the color, b) be stinky (oy, tung oil is the worst) and c) be "chemically"--I had a surgery gone awry that left me with skin and breathing issues.
Some brands I've seen pop up online include Liberon Beeswax (wax+carnuba+turpentine), Liberon Wax Polish Black Bison (not sure how this is different from other Liberon product) and Daddy Van's (wax+carnuba+olive oil). I've also seen recs online to just mix 6 parts mineral oil and 1 part beeswax.
What do you think?
