Hi Andy, It’s really hard to say without seeing the pieces. You may want to test it if possible. Considering the skirting boards are pine and the doors will have oak veneer, you may need to experiment a bit if you are looking for them to match, but that is your personal preference. I’m not familiar with Danish oil, but my understanding would be that and the briwax would need to be maintained at some point some years down the road. So honestly, it may come down to what you feel most comfortable with. Best of luck to you!

My question is, I am ordering new internal doors that have an oak veneer but are unfinished. Could I use Briwax for this purpose? I want them to match my skirting boards but I want to make sure the doors are protected. They recomend Danish oil but is Briwax a good alternative?

Awesome! I’m not sure if it is the same thing but my guess is probably. Some of their names have changed slightly.

Hi Tiffany, Thank you!
I buffed the wax off almost immediately. And yes it is smelly, but it’s probably personal preference. Being able to have some windows open would probably be helpful. Good luck!

I love the waxed finish of the cabinets. It reminds me of the look of a refinished antique furniture piece! I’m not seeing the color “Tudor Brown”. Is “Tudor Oak” the same thing?

And I have read twice now that it can be on the smelly side, since it is cold in Ohio right now I don’t have my windows open very often! Lol, Should I wait til it’s warmer out so I can have the windows open? I am using your post as my full inspiration so thank you for sharing!

Hi Karen, Unfortunately, I refinished these cabinets in homes that I sold, so I am not able to answer that.

How well did it hold up, was it easy to clean?
