As Chisel Slinger points out, problems may be due to the type of wood not so much the Feed n Wax. I may try carving a test spot on a non treated part of the log and follow up with the results.

The overwintering piece (pictured in first post) is a much harder wood, possibly some sort of maple, and has been treated through much of the carving process. I will assume for now that treating harder woods is relatively safe. The effects of saturation over time are yet to be known (probably spring).
