Encaustic Art The Original -LANDSCAPE SELECTION Set of 16 - Encaustic Wax Block Colors -Beeswax For Encaustic Art Supplies -Non-Toxic, Handcrafted in Germany

I was hoping these would create the woodturning finishes that I saw in some video clips online. The craftsman are either Pakistani or Indian. They turn vases, platters, bowls, etc and use some kind of a friction applied block wax. Their end products are beautiful! Sadly these waxes do not perform the same as what they use. These are soft and the applied wax scratches off easily with a fingernail. I saw in one of the comments to the videos that this was the product they use, but sadly not.But I'm sure for painting they work just fine.If anyone knows what they really use I'd appreciate your feedback.

They appeared much larger in the photos.

I don’t like this product at all. Not sure about the composition, if it has too much resin and not enough wax and oil but it is hard and scratchy, and even with the heat gun, I’m not able to get the colors blended well when I’m blending with an oil stick and even the same products in this box. The mark of a hard scratch remains present, there is no creaminess. I did like some of the colors and appreciated the two white sticks and the black but otherwise, it would be a one star review. I’m returning them.

Fun

My artist friend loved his Christmas gift

I use these waxes in my encaustic art and find them very good. What else is there to say?
