Why can't these doors be waxed?

If you get a nice natural colour when waxed then can you let me know what you used because I am thinking of waxing mine (couple of coats of matt varnish at the moment for protection)

OH used clear Briwax on the doors in present house and was very happy with that (recommended by someone renovating a house nearby with all original woodwork). He'll probably stick with that brand.

On some dado rail I think he made up a solution of instant coffee to stain it first then waxed later on. That tip was given to him by a long-standing qualified carpenter/joiner (I really wish I knew the difference, wouldn't like to offend any tradesmen!).
