Perfect if you have one prize piece of wooden furniture or have two or three pieces of different types of wood.
Ideal for anyone who would like to polish a single piece of furniture but may be unsure which shade to buy.
We have ensured there is enough in each tin to cover a single piece of furniture (depending on the absorption rate of the wood) such as dining table, gate-leg table, bureau, chest of drawers, or four to six dining chairs.
If you would like to try your hand at beeswax polishing using the products professional restorers use, this kit is a great starting point.
Our beeswax furniture polish is made in the UK from the highest quality natural waxes we can source and is specially formulated to bring old furniture back to life.
Natural waxes:
- Triple-filtered beeswax, humanely harvested from local hives
- Carnauba, Myrica, Japan and Berry waxes
Portugese Pure Pine Gum Spirits of Turpentine
distilled from organically certified resin tapped from living pine trees. (RN21 initiative)

Our commitment to preserving the natural beauty of your wooden furniture has led us to improve our beeswax polish formula by incorporating a UV absorber. This addition has been scientifically proven to significantly lessen the harmful effects of UV radiation from direct sunlight on wooden surfaces.
By integrating a UV absorber into our trusted beeswax polish formula, we provide additional protection that absorbs even more of the harmful UV rays before they can damage the wood or its finish. This advanced protection is especially crucial for pieces exposed to direct sunlight, helping to greatly reduce discolouration and extend the life of your furniture.
While it does not block all UV rays entirely, it acts as a crucial additional barrier, extending the life of your furniture and keeping its colour and finish vibrant.
Environmental preservation is very important to us and we make every effort to ensure our products have a minimal impact on the environment:
- This interior wood finish is composed of natural wax and oil, ensuring an environment that is free of hazardous chemicals, as well as completely safe for children. The absence of pesticides makes this product a reliable choice.
- We are not driven by a corporate cost-reduction ethos. We select our components based on quality and sustainability rather than the cheapest alternatives
- 100% Plastic-free recyclable packaging
- Recycled cardboard and paper from FSC-approved mixed sources
- Packing tape that is paper & cotton based with a water-based gum adhesive which can be recycled along with the cardboard boxes
- No polypropylene-based tape. We use biodegradable raffia twine.
- Our workshop roof is completely covered in solar panels and generates far more electricity than we consume
- For best results use the included ultra-soft 0000-grade oil-free wire wool to apply the polish
- With gentle pressure spread the polish evenly over the surface in the direction of the grain, being careful not to over apply and avoid any upholstered areas. Once applied the surface area should look matt in appearance
- Allow the pure pine turpentine to completely evaporate and the wax to harden (15-20 minutes in temperate climates)
- Use the included open-weave pure cotton buffing cloth to buff the wax with ease and without leaving streaks. An open-weave cloth reduces the heat from friction that would melt the top layer of wax and cause smearing.
Weekly furniture maintenance of removing dust can be done by simply using a slightly damp cloth and drying if needed with a clean dry cloth - beeswax polish will protect the surface for a very long time.
If you have a larger surface like the side of a chest of drawers or the top of a dining table apply the beeswax more evenly by dabbing the surface all over with small amounts of polish, then wipe in the direction of the grain to spread the wax evenly.
SECRET TRADE TIP:
For carved relief areas such as an antique coffer, you can also apply beeswax furniture polish with a cheap 1 inch trimmed paint brush. It makes applying the beeswax much easier and allows the polish to get right into those dusty and hard to reach areas. Buff it when completely dry with a soft shoe brush and buffing cloth.
*Coverage may vary depending on the condition of the finish.
**Not suitable for use on floors - the wax content is so high that the slip resistance would not be sufficient.

Superb I’m a carpenter and make handmade jewellery boxes and was struggling to find a decent wax until I came across this one
This is the best bees wax I have ever used if you’re thinking of buying this product I would highly recommend this
J
I found the polishing starter kit excellent value and packaged very nicely. There was a message and sunflower seeds as well which I thought was a lovely personal touch. I have only used the rose gold polish. I reupholstered my daughters dining chairs and I felt that the wood needed some TLC...The polish was just what it needed, it hid some of the blemishes and really buffed up so nice, which finished them off lovely. I would highly recommend this product to family and friends. I am going to polish my own table and chairs with the antique wax.

Very pleased.
I purchased the starter kit which arrived quickly and was beautifully put together. I have just used the pure gold polish on a white stain (maybe water) which was very obvious on my light coloured burr elm coffee table. I spent the last few days working on it and although not perfect it is certainly not as obvious. I'm very pleased with the result. I just need to rejuvenate the rest of the table now.

Very pleased with the result of my grandfather’s old and worn out chair. Amazing results and followed Simon’s three step process to restore the chair which removed all the confusion out of how best to do this. Now just finishing the upholstery.
Lovely product, quickly received, thank you.

Bought the oil and starter kit for a few projects for the summer. The first of which was a desk rescued from a skip. After a little elbow grease and some repairs I am so pleased with how it’s turned out. The Gilboys products are a dream to use and the finish to the wood top using rose gold wax is just lovely. I can’t wait to get on with the other bits now as they will also be a dream to work on. I also loved the packaging and the hand written note. The YouTube channel and info on the website has been incredibly helpful and I was not daunted by this project at all. I would highly recommend Gilboys products. What a fabulous find. Unfortunately I forgot the before photo, but desk was a very sorry state!

I had never waxed any of my furniture before so ordered starter kit and watched gully YouTube video to know what to do. Very easy and satisfying to use with gorgeous results. Thank you. Will order and recommend to others. Love that’s it British made also

I used these products after watching the you tube video made by Gilboys on restoration of a teak table. This matched my project of restoring a piano stool and by following Simon's process closely the results have been as good as I wanted. I have attached before and after pictures and although the seat cover is not attached on the piano stool, I hope people can see the finished article.

The starter kit is ideal for someone who only has a small job or who wants to test before committing. A little goes a long way.
I used them on a table after using the hard wax oil and it was easy to apply, easy to buff to a lovely sheen, even for amateur like myself.
I am now looking around for any wooden object to wax.

I am restoring my Grandmother's mahogany telephone table and my Aunt's vintage secretary. I wanted to use a product that would have been similar to what would have been used in the late 1800's, early 1900's. The Gilboy's product is perfect for this. The starter kit is very generous, providing enough polish for several items. The results were more than I could have hoped for! Just beautiful.

First of all the delivery was super quick and the parcel itself was beautiful with a real personal touch!
The wax has really helped improve my sun bleached chest. It probably needs another going over but a huge improvement.
Nice to support a genuine independent business! 2 before & 2 after pics

Had a review of Axminster tools waxs and compared the value is good. Also for the price of the fine wool
Yes I did want to support having watched the videos but happy to know this is good value for money. Took a jar of honey as well, perfect taste with all this fake honey on sale in shops happy to have the real thing

We have had a limited edition Liberty ‘s oak coffee table for forty years plus and it was becoming very sad due to sun exposure . I have done 3 applications of wax but having difficulty polishing it off , will try again after the festive season .
K
I bought the polishing kit and hard wax oil to renovate a very old chest of drawers, I found exactly the right products to use, they are excellent! The instructions were good, the polishing kit contained all I needed to finish the job,
M
I didn't take a 'before' picture - why would I? It looked like firewood, filthy, battered, unloved for 50+ years in an old shed. A talented neighbour recognised its potential. It's not finished, as a drop-leaf is yet to be fitted, but what an amazing transformation. Take my word for it - it's magic!
S
After watching the you tube instructionals I took the plunge and bought the starter set of three waxes. My aim to give a bit of life back to some mahogany and oak furniture I'm selling.
The results are magnificent, the wax is easy to apply, smells great and a gentle buff later really brings out the grain and puts a lovely soft sheen on the wood.
Glad I bought the three different shades used them all now on various pieces.
Totally recommend you clean the wood you are working on first for best results now they look fab and ready to move onto new homes.
Cheers folks for coming up with such an easy to use product will be back when it runs out.
Cheers
Simon.

I have used the rose gold from the pack on 4 Georgian fruitwood chairs. I used the wax after giving the chairs a good clean and there was plenty to cover the four. The results were amazing. I was worried that I had been a bit over zealous with my cleaning but once the wax went on and was buffed they looked gorgeous. The wax was lovely to use and the chairs look like proper bobby dazzlers now. I am really pleased with the product and the starter pack was perfect for my needs. I would absolutely recommend this product.

I watched the Gilboys’ video and followed the instructions The chest is looking lovely. I polished the bottom 3 drawers and then took a photo of the amazing difference.

I used the Antique Gold wax on my mahogany bookcase. This was the first application of wax in about twenty years. I cleaned the piece with white spirit and a soft cotton cloth, and then applied the wax with wire wool. Polished with pieces cut from an old vest to save the special open-weave cloth for another day. I didn't take a "before" pic but believe me, this is a huge improvement. The starter kit is a really good buy if you have a few small pieces of furniture to work on and they can benefit from the different colours of the wax.

Starter kit purchased to preserve my wooden Jubilee Wine Canon, made from the hull of HMS Victory. Wax was easy to apply and the protection is tangible.
Presentation is excellent, as was delivery.
