Any good-quality paste wax is fine -- Butcher's Wax, Briwax, Liberon, are all good brands. (Woodworking supply houses carry the last 2 -- Butcher's you can find in a good hardware store.) There's a "gun wax" out there that contains silicone -- I'd stay away from that (it's also way overpriced for the amount you get). And a dirty little secret: Kiwi shoe polish, in those little flat cans, is a very good quality wax -- better for "finishing" a wood finish than for leather, IMO. With any of these except Butcher's, you can get a color that's close to that of the wood, and it won't show white when it dries.
