I bought this to make furniture wax and it works well for that purpose! I have enough pastilles to make many batches of wax. Here's the recipe from diynatural:
In a double boiler, heat 1/2 cup sweet almond oil and 1/8 cup beeswax pastilles until beeswax is completely melted. (Test hardness by dipping a spoon into the mixture, allow to harden, and see if it's firm enough. You want it firm enough to dip and grab a chunk, but soft enough to give and melt a bit on contact. If it's too hard, add more oil. Too soft, add more wax.) Once desired consistency is achieved, add 10 to 15 drops lemon essential oil and stir well. (You could also use other oils such as lavender, or rose and rosewood.) Pour it into a widemouth glass jar and allow to harden and cool before using. To Use: Rub wax into your furniture. Work it in and buff with a clean dry cloth. The oils will keep the wood hydrated and the beeswax will prevent more scratches and protect the wood. Lemon essential oil dissolves fingerprints and other dirt. Do not apply more than twice a year, to prevent build-up of wax. if wax does build up, just buff until removed. Using a dusting spray of water and vinegar will also help prevent buildup.

Different sellers = different quality!
I just got finished making 4 tins of Comfrey Salve and it turned out great. I love that the little beeswax dots are so much easier to measure than the blocks I normally buy.Melted very quickly, great consistency, the smell is not overpowering and does not detract from the final product.I'll buy this brand again.UPDATE: Feb, 2013 .... Please note that different shippers will get you different product. I ordered again because I was running low and this time I got something that looked like it came off a cheese grater instead of the perfect little round nibs I got in my first order (my original order looked just like the Amazon product photo).... Even the smell of them is different... not disgusting or anything, but I feel I definitely got a lower quality product this time. The smell of this new batch is quite strong and the bits seems sticky and clumpy.... I'm knocking one star off and changing the title of the review..... Edit: I just uploaded some photos showing the difference in the two products I received... both ordered on this exact same page about 4 months apartConclusion (my opinion only) - I like the Dr Adorable product - five stars.... The Larkin Product - 3.5 stars
