I was in Tasmania recently and was completely blown away with the TAS hardwood craft work. The skills shown by most was fantastic. I managed to squeeze a couple of offcuts from Strahan.....Sassafras and Huon Pine, into my case. I have now cut these to size and sanded to 800 grit. What do I do now to finish and maintain the colour and grain? These pieces will be just looked at and felt rather than put to use. All help appreciated.

Shellawax cream from ubeaut. I love it. http://www.ubeaut.com.au/cream.html
I also like the finish from the Traditional wax,
it gives a marvelous feel & look BUT...
it smells funny, like grandma's bathroom cupboard. http://ubb.ubeaut.com.au/ubb/eek.gif

I bought Ubeaut's book on polishing and my first pot of shellawax. I have obviously done something wrong. I applied the wax (I thought as directed) until the cloth grabbed and stopped and let it dry. After polishing I was left with streaks of wax which I couldn't get rid of no matter how hard I rubbed. What have I done wrong?
