How to coat wooden cups with beeswax

Enger Grove now sells wooden cups! These cups are made from Elm. The exterior finish is Odie's Oil and the interior is lined with beeswax. Why beeswax? Wooden cups need a finish that is water-resistant, non-toxic, and flavorless--not an easy combo! We experimented with many finishes before landing on beeswax.

Eventually, the beeswax finish may start to fade or wear off. You will notice the interior looking "chalky" and losing its shine. Each of our cups comes with a small jar of extra beeswax. If you have purchased one of our cups, this demonstration shows how you can re-finish it.

These mugs are for cold beverages only. Do not put in microwave or dishwasher. And only wash with a thorough rinsing, lightly wiping with a cloth if necessary.
