The beauty found in natural wood products begins with proper care and maintainance.

The secret it in the blend. Woodcarver's, finishers, wood workers, cabinet and furniture makers throughout the world rely on Briwax products. They need a furniture wax that not only will protect the original quality of the wood, but also restore that like knew look when their hand crafted items became an antique. After years of experimentation, master craftsman, Henry Flack, formulated a blend of soft beeswax and an imported, hard, waxy emollient from the carnauba palm in South America. Henry called his unique formula Briwax. Those who witnessed the results, spread the news throughout master craftsmen guilds across Europe and now the world.

Since Henry Flacks discovery in 1860, wood craftsmen around the world have used Briwax to protect, restore and recondition fine furniture and antiques to their original "patina" which could only be duplicated by laborious hand rubbing before introduction of the Briwax blend. This unique "craftsman's" choice is now available to American professional wood workers and refinishers; as well as the quality conscious homemaker who simply wants to keep his / her furnishings or antiques in top condition.

BRIWAX is a solvent based blend of beeswax and carnauba wax, two of the finest wood finishing waxes known to man. Most of the waxes found on the shelves today contain the solvents turpentine or mineral spirits. We use a much hotter solvent, toluene, which allows us to emulsify more of the harder, more durable waxes like carnauba to give better protection to your finished surfaces. The use of a hotter solvent result in the wax setting much quicker, This gives the customer the higher luster of the BRIWAX finish faster.
