(To order, page down)>>> The secret's in the blend. Woodcarver's and cabinet makers throughout Europe have always crafted some of the finest furniture in the world. They needed a furniture wax that not only would protect the original quality of the wood, but also restore that like-new look when their handy-craft 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. 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 2000 - a low odor blend. Briwax responds to user concerns! Since Henry's discovery was in 1860, before environmental concern were an issue, he used toluene in the formula to ensure the finest "patina" finish. In the 1990's regulatory agencies throughout the USA have started to highlight certain groups of chemicals and the extra care needed when using them. Toluene is member of these groups, so at Henry Flack, we've answered the call and developed a toluene-free formula, using the identical beeswax/carnauba wax blend, . . And, except for a little extra drying time, the results were outstanding ... No loss in patina, which has become the BRIWAX trademark of quality!  NOTE: Ebony, Dark Oak & Teak are only available in original formula. Tins of Briwax direct from England are labeled slightly different to comply with US labeling laws. Color designations are different as well. The following is a chart to match US color to the English color. So if you have a tin of wax from England and wish to purchase more here (US/Canada), you may do so with confidence using this chart. Briwax Clear = "Clear" in US & Canada Briwax P-7 or Medium Brown = "Light Brown" in US & Canada Briwax Antique Brown or # 37 = "Golden Oak" in US & Canada Briwax Jacobean or # 181 = "Dark Brown" in the US & Canada Briwax Rustic Pine = "Rustic Pine" US & Canada Briwax Antique Mahogany = "Antique Mahogany" in the US & Canada NOTE: Rustic Pine 1b is out; we suggest replacing with the Lustra in "Old Pine" color. Dark Brown 1b is out; we suggest replacing with the Lustra in "Dark Brown" color. Ebony 1b Original is out; we suggest replacing with Lustra Black. "These are problems caused from unforeseen circumstances affecting production of Briwax in the United Kingdom, thus shipments to the US are way behind. We expect this problem to be remedied soon. This is a US nationwide issue.” |
