Good questions. The beeswax had three light coats, the linseed and danish oil had one light coat each. The beeswax feels very slightly waxy (as you would expect) and the other two feel like rubbing your finger over paper, if that makes sense. None have been polished with any pads yet, but I only sanded them down to 150g paper, so they wouldn't come up to mirror shine without a good few coats more, and a lot of elbow grease, to fill the grain/sanding scratches/etc.
They are pipe holders I have been trying to master.
