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

£12.50

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

  • 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

On the lathe (friction application):

  1. Ensure the surface is fully sanded and dust free.

  2. With the lathe running at a moderate speed, lightly apply the wax stick to the spinning work.

  3. Allow the friction to transfer a thin, even coat.

  4. Immediately buff with a clean, soft cloth until a clear gloss develops.

Apply sparingly — thin coats produce the best clarity and shine.

Using a buffing wheel:

  1. Apply a light coat of wax directly to the workpiece or briefly load the buffing wheel.

  2. Buff using a clean cotton or calico wheel at moderate speed.

  3. Allow the heat from buffing to melt and polish the wax into the surface.

  4. Finish with a clean wheel or soft cloth for maximum gloss.

Do not overload the wheel — small amounts produce the cleanest, brightest finish.
