Oil and wax recipe?

I need an oil and wax recipe for hand finishing hard woods such as pear, cherry and walnut. Anyone want to share a recipe? The commercial products such as T & T are pretty expensive.

Highland Woodworking has a couple recipes in their "library section."

1/3 BLO, 1/3 spar varnish, 1/3 turps: made 'famous' by Garrett Hack. Look in the articles section for more information.

Once you've finished the piece with the above formulation, then wax with Fiddes, Mylands, etc.
