I think that using beeswax would be an awesome finish for hardwood, however since it doesn't penetrate the wood that well and makes a sort of coat on the wood, I wouldn't think it would be good for a paddle.
I feel like putting it in hot wort would slowly melt the wax off into it. Obviously no one wants beeswax in their wort haha so IMO, I wouldn't stay away from it.
If your heart is set on beeswax, I've heard of many people finishing hardwood with a mineral oil, beeswax mixture. But again, the wax is almost certain to get in the hot wort. That is my thinking atleast.
