    I don't know what it is called, but a while ago I watched the Alan
    Revere Goldsmithing video #3 about a pendant with an oval cabochon.
    He used one of these sticks with bronze casters wax. I had no idea
    where I was gong to come across this at all, but in ther
    silversmithing class I teach, in the classroom was about 25 pounds of
    this wax, just sitting there not being used. it was purchased
    sometime back for a sculpture class that isn't taught anymore. So I
    was able to get what I needed for my class and personal use and they
    still had more than 24 pounds left over. So if you are near a bronze
    caster or an art class, you might be able to get some from them. 

    in cool and snowless MT, waiting for the last big storm before the
    glacier lilies start to bloom.
