Description

Northern Shine – Signature Wax Stick, The Big Stick 80g

A single, solid stick that brings the ultra‑clear, mirror‑gloss finish of our classic Northern Shine paste into a quick, mess‑free format. Designed for makers who want the same depth, clarity and clean buffing, but with the convenience of a stick you can apply directly and polish in seconds.

Made from a high‑wax blend of premium Type 1 carnauba and microcrystalline waxes, it melts into the wood with minimal pressure, revealing grain, colour, and figure with true professional polish—no dulling agents, no greasy feel.

Key features of the wax stick

  • Solid wax stick for ultra‑fast application — no tins, no mess, no fuss
  • Same premium finish as the paste version — mirror‑bright clarity with rich depth
  • High carnauba + microcrystalline blend — hard, durable surface that still buffs smoothly
  • Clean, dry feel — low drag, zero residue, professional look and touch
  • Ideal for lathe work and fine woodworking — controlled, precise finish whether by hand or on the lathe.

How to use a wax stick on the lathe with friction application:

  • Ensure the surface is fully sanded and dust free.
  • With the lathe running at a moderate speed, lightly apply the wax stick to the spinning work.
  • Allow the friction to transfer a thin, even coat.
  • Immediately buff with a clean, soft cloth until a clear gloss develops.
  • Apply sparingly — thin coats produce the best clarity and shine.

How to use a wax stick with a buffing wheel:

  • Apply a light coat of wax directly to the workpiece or briefly load the buffing wheel.
  • Buff using a clean cotton or calico wheel at moderate speed.
  • Allow the heat from buffing to melt and polish the wax into the surface.
  • Finish with a clean wheel or soft cloth for maximum gloss.
  • Do not overload the wheel — small amounts produce the cleanest, brightest finish.

Net Weight 80g, Twice the weight of standard wax sticks.
