I've never heard of using wax for a stain and/or finish.  During the holidays 
I needed to be at the whse while racks were installed. I decided to try this.  
I made a 3 ft candle holder out of 2x2s mitering four legs and counter sunk 
a flat round top to set 6" & 8" candles.  I mixed mahagony stain with 
butcher's wax added a little mineral spirits and applied it to the frame, 
with a shop rag (using gloves).    

I didn't melt the wax - this was a quickie experiment. When it dried 
(next day) I rubbed a satin shine then put gold highlights on the edges.  
The next morn at groop someone suggests you can put shellac on wax. 
 I sprayed two coats and it looks terrific. I couldn't believe the result.  

When I have the time I will make an end table, 
use the wax-stain and french on shellac.
