Jim, do you mean you use beeswax on a screw with wooden threads or do 
you mean that you use beeswax on woodscrews? Gary K

I have always used beeswax on wood screws. It does seem to lubricate them,
because on some woods I simply cannot drive a screw in without first applying
beeswax on the threads. I don't really know why I use beeswax, other than it is
traditional. Maybe paraffin would work as well, I don't know.
