Preserving wooden kris hilt

Yes Paul, I only use the Antiquax on wood.

If I wished to use wax on a blade I would use Renaissance wax, but I don't use wax on blades.

Its not suitable for keris blades because of the rough surface, and the oil and sleeve method I use for keris has proven to be effective for polished blades as well, so I've never bothered with Renaissance wax.

I note all you say about Renaissance, and there are a lot of people who use it and swear by it, however, I've always found my methods totally satisfactory, so I guess I'll just keep on using them.

I would imagine for armour, or for firearms, Renaissance would be excellent, but thankfully I do not have to concern myself with those types of items.
