Meet The Briwax Guy!
If you happen to be in the Atlanta area this coming weekend (January 13, 14 and 15), plan on visiting the Scott Antique Market. The Briwax Guy will be there in the South Building, Aisle G, Booth 5220. This Antique Market is billed as “The World’s Largest Monthly Indoor Antique Show” . . . so, if you’re in the area, you won’t want to miss it!!
We recently had a customer contact us with this dilemma . . . The Briwax Guy’s responses are in Blue:
I am trying to decide whether or not to use Original Briwax to finish some mahogany furniture. The Teak colored wax is my first preference.
Teak would be a very nice choice and will add a beautiful enhancing color to your mahogany.
I was told to be careful and that the color rubs off on clothes even well after tables are finished.As so many of us do, we think more is better. However, with Briwax, less is better. The less wax you use to finish your piece the better your piece will look and feel.
Here is a good tip for you and I call it my white glove test. After you have sparingly applied Briwax over your piece, wait a minute and then buff out the wax with a clean white cloth.
You will notice on the cloth all the extra wax that you applied. When the piece has developed a beautiful sheen take your white cloth and rebuff as hard as you can. Now look at the cloth.
If there is any wax on it you used too much. When you develop a technique of using Briwax sparingly, your cloth will barely show a trace of wax. That is perfect!
On to tablecloths as well.Again, everyone uses too much Briwax and then never buffs it out properly. Always run the “white glove” test to see how you have done.
Do you know if this is true?
It is always true if you use too much. For instance, a standard dining room table of 4’ x 6’ will only require a Tablespoon of Briwax to maintain the top!
We hope that this has helped you with some of your questions! For more information on Briwax, visit our website: Briwax-TRG.com.

Which color of Briwax should I use? Well, that’s a tough question for us to answer without actually seeing the piece that you’ll be using it on. But to give you an idea about color, on the bedside table shown below, we’ll use Rustic Pine. Rustic Pine has a hint red undertones that will highlight the reds in the finish on this table.
But then you ask, what if I want to play down the red undertones? Then you could easily use Light Brown (the lightest of the brown colored waxes) or you could use Tudor Brown (right in the middle of Light Brown and Dark Brown Briwax. The Tudor Brown will add color and will darken the piece. Where the Light Brown would take on the color on which it is applied – giving a soft coloration and helping to hide scratches.

And take a look at the ceramic pumpkins in the picture below. They’ve been waxed with Golden Oak Briwax. The hint of yellow in the Golden Oak Briwax gave them a touch of color and a wonderful sheen.
Don’t be afraid to try Briwax on ceramics – Briwax will give it a lovely sheen and if you use Light Brown Briwax, you can also age the piece.
