Sold individually, our Anyfink Wood Balm (also called wax, conditioner or butter) is made with natural beeswax from our own hives combined with food-safe mineral oil, and we use it to condition all our Spurtles, wooden spoons, bowls, chopping and cutting boards (as well any other wooden products in the kitchen that come into contact with food).
We collect the wax from the honeycomb built by our bees once a year when we extract any surplus honey they have made for us. We then render it down and filter several times until we have pure wax, which we then melt and combine with food grade mineral oil and set in our resealable aluminium tins.
Our Wood Balm can be applied with cloth, kitchen paper or fingers. It should be rubbed into the wood and left for an hour or so until absorbed, and then any surplus buffed off with some kitchen paper. The balm can be reapplied in the future when the wood begins to lighten and looks in need of some nourishment.
We use 60ml (2oz) tins with at least 50ml (1.7oz) of wood balm in each tin. The tins measure 6.5 x 2.5cm.
The photos show the Wood Balm in the supplied tins (gold/silver), some examples of our own woodwork being treated, and an example frame of wax comb from our hardworking bees. Each sale is for one tin only.
