In today’s context, American white oak wood is used in agricultural tools, carpentry, doors, railway vehicles, furniture, and upholstery. In this study, surfaces obtained by applying wax at different coat numbers (1, 2, and 3) on American white oak (Quercus alba) wood were evaluated for color parameters, glossiness (║ and ⊥, 20 o, 60 o, and 85 o), and whiteness index (WI*) (║ and ⊥) values. Results from samples with different numbers of wax coats were compared with control samples. According to the results obtained, significant differences in coat numbers were observed across all tests. Wax treatments resulted in declines in L* and ho values, alongside rises in a*, C*, and b* values. The ΔL* values were negative, whereas the Δa*, Δb*, and ΔC* values were positive. The color difference (ΔE*) values were determined as follows: 5.62 for 1 coat of wax, 11.96 for 2 coats of wax, and 10.57 for 3 coats of wax. In all degrees and directions tested, the lowest gloss values were obtained with the control samples, while the highest WI* values were also found in the control samples. In this study, it was noted that applying different numbers of wax layers yielded varying outcomes.
