Centaur forge has 1# blocks for $6.75 and smaller 2oz blocks. To make smaller blocks melt the wax in a double boiler and cast in a muffin tin. It helps to spray the pan with pam before casting. The wax is hard to completely remove, to keep the Domestic Goddess pleased, it may do you well to have your own pans. The lower you keep your melt temps the lighter color your wax will be.

Your best resource for farrier and blacksmith supplies Product Search "beeswax"
