So basically this is my first time trying to polish bare wood. And after consulting uncle Google I decided to try IKEA Behandla beeswax polish.
I followed the instructions, sand my wood, even apply some moisture on the sanded wood because the instructions says it's better like that. Then apply the beeswax and wait for it to dry.
The beeswax itself is white liquid colour, however after leaving the wood to dry, the colour turned so yellow I don't even recognize it anymore. Was it my problem, or it's the nature of beeswax to turn the wood colour yellowish?? I understand that polishing will make the wood color turn darker but this is not "darker", it's yellower...

cannot leh.. it has linseed oil. it will turn yellow.
you need white pigments for white washing style. ikea should have it also. but still its oil based.
anyway, if no pigments, you need polycrylic (waterbased poly) wont turn yellow.

so i dont think you need years to make it yellow.
