Abstract :In this study, researchers investigated how surface properties, such as whiteness index (WI*), colour parameters, and glossiness values, were affected by wax applications with different coating layers on magnolia (Magnolia grandiflora L.) wood. A control group was set up, and the outcomes from samples with varying counts of wax layers were contrasted. The variance analyses conducted for the number of rocks factor in all tests were found to be significant. The ∆E* values were found to be 3.02 for the 1-layer application, 3.67 for the 2-layer application, and 4.80 for the 3-layer application. It was observed that as the number of layers increased in colour parameters, the values of ho and L* decreased, while b*, C*, and a* values increased. Additionally, decreases in WI* values were detected in both directions (⊥ and ║). It was observed that the waxes used in the study had a modifying effect on the selected surface properties of magnolia wood.
