Surface Embellishments: Liming Wax and Sandblasting By Curtis Turner Round Rock, Texas Liming wax has been used for hundreds of years to create striking effects on wood. The effects can range from a soft antiqued (pickled) finish to a bold high contrast appearance with significant visual impact. It can be used on unfinished wood or over a stained or painted surface. The white liming wax is rubbed onto the wood and then wiped off leaving wax lodged in the open pores of the wood. Liming wax is fantastic when used on ring porous woods like ash and oak.
