Jane123, I found some Medium Oak and Medium Mahogany wax here. Liberon make exceeding good products (their 0000 steel wool is the best available in Australia).

to wax or not to wax...

Always found, natural/neutral wax for light/smooth timbers. Anything with open grain, you need something with a bit of color to stop the wax showing up whitish in the grain, or scratches if its a cover up job.

Thanks for that, Spectre. That makes a lot of sense.
