Has anyone boiled wood to remove wax? I’m looking for pointers.
I have some wax-coated pen blanks. I am not going to turn them but instead make lumber so I need to remove the wax. Unlike the reference above, these are not live edge. I’m reluctant to send it through the sander 'cuz it will gum up the sander. I have already frozen the blanks and scraped off as much wax as I can.
