My original post had some incorrect words I did not notice right
away. I was thinking the wax would wear off in a case like someone
using a wooden tray with cheese on it and then wiping the wooden tray
off a number of times. I cleaned a buffed wooden tray with a warm,
wrung-out dish cloth and the the shine seemed to lessen which is what
got me curious. This is different than something like mineral oil
going through wax which is not what I meant to say. The wax would have
been worn off first in some places. And then what is the best thing
to do.

And thanks for the book title which I just ordered.
