I recently finished a small box and after giving it a coat of Danish Oil(sanded in with 600 grit), I decided to let it dry for a week and then give it a coat of wax. I didn't feel that the style of the box needed a traditional "topcoat" of lacquer or such.
The wood is something that was called amazon rosewood(it is a dark reddish, dense, oily wood). It accepted the light coat of Danish oil with no issues. It seemed to dry thoroughly with no "bleedback" .
The wax used was a very light coat of clear BriWax. I let it dry and then buffed it back with a soft T-shirt rag. It initially was clear and had a nice soft shine. The next day, it had a milky/haze appearance. I buffed it again and it went away. It has come back again and each day I don't buff it, it becomes more hazy.
Any thoughts/ suggestions??
Maybe the Danish Oil was not sufficiently dried?
