Polish used for chessbazaar pieces

apologies. continued typing: does anyone have experience with what to use? any comment on bees wax? Im annxious not to be too aggressive as afraid would darken the wood too much. Will try to post a pic. Thanks

This product works very well. You can obtain it on Amazon.com-the link follows:

Beeswax is fairly soft and not high gloss so it, like all waxes it will need maintenance.  if you want high gloss you'll need to look at harder waxes, carnauba is common.  Renaissance wax always comes up as an answer to this question, but really, its awfully expensive compared with the various cabinetmakers wax formulations out there and I'm not sure what you get for the money.  Wood often darkens in itself and traditional waxes can be removed if you get some unwanted build on the surface.  Renaissance is allegedly more difficult to get off, the polythene in it is apparently responsible (but I've never had to do that). 

Bought the renaissance and tried it. Not much gain in gloss but feels smoother to touch.

If you use a bench grinder with a soft fabric buffing wheel and the Renaissance wax your results would be much better. A high gloss could be achieved with this method or with buffing compound. 

buffing compound is an abrasive, you might use it to remove excess polythene and wax if you have put too much on and let it dry too much or it has built up too much over repeated waxings, but applying buffing compound to the underlying finish is likely to wear it away on the high points of the carving or turning

Then why don't you help the man with his problem instead of seeming to always correct what I post on this particular thread? Seems like you just criticize and not help. I've seen many Indian craftsman use a buffing compound when making chess sets. Give the man what you know to help with his problem and help or otherwise stay in your lane. Peace brother.
