Chris Schwarz (Lost Art Press) has a short video going through the process of making his oil/wax blend. Pure linseed oil, beeswax, and citrus solvent. In this link for the video https://blog.lostartpress.com/2024/12/11/how-we-make-our-soft-wax/ his latest book is mentioned (American Peasant) where the recipe is explained in full. You can buy the book from him, or download it for free. If you google search "soft wax Lost Art Press", you'll get many hits from over the years. He uses it as a finish for much of the furniture he builds. These blends have been made forever, this is just his version.
