Waxing

According to regularity and severity of use, your table will benefit from the use of a natural beeswax-based application every 1-3 months. Avoid waxes containing silicon as they may affect the finish and character of the table and also block the wood pores.

Wax (which is beeswax-based) should be applied in the following manner:
Using a soft clean cloth apply wax sparingly in a circular motion. If the environment is very warm (75'F or more (21'C)) it may be beneficial to chill the wax in a domestic refrigerator for 12/24 hours before use. (Please take care not to contaminate food or allow access by children.) The circular motion should be continued vigorously until the cloth starts to 'grip' on the waxed table top. Once the top is lightly covered with wax, quickly 'stroke' the wax in the direction of the grain of the wood, allow to stand for 12/24 hours. Polish vigorously with a clean cloth until a shine appears. Finally, using a new cloth, buff slightly.

NB Several thin coats of wax and polishing spread several days apart are more beneficial (and easier to apply) than one heavy application.
