If you’ve got a lot to do, plan to spread the task out! The buffing did wear me out a bit, so I would just do several doors at a time, then take a break. I love using Briwax to stain and finish wood, especially pine. It leaves a beautiful touchable luster that enhances the natural character of the wood. It provides a lot of control over adding and removing color and is very forgiving of mistakes. Briwax comes in a dozen or more different colors and it is easy to layer colors and create depth and dimension that would be difficult to achieve with other stains. Maintenance: The renowned Briwax finish can be maintained by further applications, giving increased hardness and shine.

The next step is to wipe this clean. What I should have done, is wipe off the excess and then use clear wax to remove the liming wax from the flats and from the areas that didn’t need to be highlighted. Sadly what I did was rub in the liming wax and dry wipe away the excess. The results looked pretty great at first. Liming wax is, according to Bob Villa, a mix of liming paste and a wax made of either carnauba, beeswax, petroleum or shellac. A liming finish has been popular for outdoor barns and outbuildings for centuries and has provided a measure of sanitizing, and also results in the classic pastoral white barn look. Liming finishes for indoor furniture has been used as a replacement for earlier lead based whitening finishes. Liming wax should be used if you want to accentuate the grain of the wood or the architectural details of a piece. So it’s whitewash?

Liming wax can give pine furniture a wonderful antique finish that adds virtual years, interest and character to a piece of furniture. The look of imperfect white caught in the grain, creases, nooks and crannies of a piece is a distinct finish that really sets it apart from simpler, less dynamic finishes.

This is a traditional finishing treatment for all types of wood in the home and in the workshop. Briwax is a blend of Beeswax and Carnauba waxes and gives an instant natural sheen to bare wood.

Hot take but I’m coming out firmly and saying no. Some people use whitewash and liming wax interchangeably but to me there is a pretty big difference. A whitewash finish in furniture is achieved by watering down a white paint and results in a more milky wash finish, it’s much more white overall versus the liming wax finish should highlight the natural color or stain of a piece and leave only the wax in the crevices or grain. How do you apply liming wax? How to use Briwax for a fast, easy, foolproof way to stain and finish raw wood. We used Briwax to enhance and accentuate the natural character and beauty of the two nightstand DIY tables. We built these tables out of pine which has a tendency to take stain unevenly which makes for a blotchy, streaky, cheap looking finish. Not at all what we had in mind for these gorgeous tables. We chose to stain our wood using Briwax for an all in one stain, seal, and protect finish that is fast, easy to apply, and gives you an old world hand rubbed finish.

Briwax Original is formulated with fast drying, stronger solvents which speed up drying and also increase the cleaning ability of the wax slightly. This means that it will renovate older dirtier furniture and leave you with the deep grain enriching Briwax shine. Unsealed wooden surfaces should be smooth, dry and clean. For a few projects now I’ve used a mix of Minwax stains to get a rough approximation of aged pine that isn’t too red or orange but a nice medium toned down brown. The formula is roughly 2:3 Provinicial and Ipswich Pine stains mixed together. It’s not as interesting as DIY home chemistry like melting steel wool in vinegar overnight or melting down your kids toys and mixing it with their tears, but it’s the most effective mix I’ve found. The Briwax finish can be maintained by further applications which will give increased hardness and shine.We deliver to most Home Hardware Stores.

There was very little difference or variation, it was all kind of a flat hazy white that was far more beachy than what we were looking for. At this point I was not really excited. I had spent a lot of time designing and building this piece, got the exact finish I wanted only for it to slip through my fingers like the time I lost three legged race right at the end at Field Day in third grade. Pretty much the same amount of crying. I was frantically googling how to strip off wax and start over at this point, and really not looking forward to that.
