Sometimes the wood does the work for you.

This pear wood has had a year to dry. I sanded to 1200 at very slow speed, then held a bar of carnuba wax to it at high speed and spread the melt with a cotton cloth.

Nice job. As far as carnuba wax goes, one of the reasons I like the Doctor's Woodshop oils is his 'microaggregated' carnuba wax. You don't need heat and high rpm to spread it on.
