Hi Michael,

    Working in wax has caught my interest to learn too... I just bought a
    book online and am about 3/4 of the way through it. (Modeling in Wax
    for Jewelry and Sculpture  by Kallenberg, Lawrence) It covers several
    small projects, gives suggestions for tools, and explains some of the
    characteristics of the different color waxes. 

    I've always modeled in silver and then cast the pieces to gold
    working in wax should make some things much easier. I'll be keeping an
    eye on this thread for any good book suggestions too. 

Have fun with it,
Mark
