Wax coatings, when applied on wood, provide a low sheen finish that is smooth to the touch and highlights the texture of the wood; although not as long-lasting as other types, it can easily be reapplied where necessary since this process does not require stripping previously coated layers off.

– Examples: Decorative items, light-use furniture, and furniture where a natural look is desired.
