All waxed/oiled. Used my 4:1 raw linseed beeswax that I make. Softer than my old 3:1 recipe. Worked good. If you want to know more about the wax ask me.

Cutting a 2x4 like this is slow. But it is what I have / can get access too. My bench has limited space, and my circular saw is unreachable due to all the wood stacked up
