Default Beeswax and Linseed oil

I heard about this and tried it but ended up with a mess. I mixed the oil with beeswax and heated to melting then painted it on. When the wax set up all I seemed to have was a hardened wax coating on my project. I was able to peel off the heavy stuff and it did polish up good after.

Is this what I should have ended up with or did I not put in enough oil?

It was very difficult to get out of the nooks and crannys. If this is the result I will need to find something else.

Help from anyone......?
