   Hi,
   Sorry for letting this message slip by me. I'd start removing the wax with a kitchen knife first. Keep it warm by putting it in hot water and then scraping away as much wax as you can. When you get close to the wood surface or the live edge, then I'd start brushing on odorless mineral spirits. Use rags then to start wiping up the loosened wax. Keep at it with solvent and rags and the occasional scraping to get down to the wood. What also works remarkably well for candle wax on say a kitchen table is to heat up your iron. Put a paper bag down on the wax and lightly press the iron to the waxy area. The bag soaks up the wax that fast. Miraculous. Anyway, good luck. Gary
