 OG Heritage Wax vs Food Safe Wax 

Two purpose-built family formulas. Same high standards. Different jobs.

If it touches food, choose Food Safe.
If it doesn’t, OG Heritage Wax is your workhorse.

OG Heritage Wax

  • Original family formula created to restore antique tools

  • Best for wood, metal, and leather

  • Ideal for furniture, tools, antiques, and everyday pieces

  • Cleans, enhances, and protects

  • Buffable by hand or lathe for a brighter sheen

  • Not food safe — it’s for everything else

Food Safe Wax

  • Food-safe family formula made for kitchen use

  • Two ingredients: 100% pure USA beeswax + food-grade mineral oil

  • For cutting and charcuterie boards, bowls, butcher blocks, and utensils

  • Safe for antique or modern kitchenware

  • Same application: wax on, wax off

  • Reapply as needed due to washing and use

 How to Use Either Wax 

Both waxes are applied the same way — rub the wax into the surface with one cloth and, using a different/clean cloth, buff it out. No waiting. No curing. Wax on, wax off, appreciate.

​

Extremely dry pieces may benefit from a heavier coat or a second pass. Let the wood tell you what it needs.

 What Both Waxes Share 

  • Family-made in small batches

  • Designed to penetrate, not sit on top

  • Works on unfinished or non-poly surfaces

  • Not for sealed or glossy finishes

  • Made to bring out grain and deepen natural tone

  • A whole lot of things made better by a little wax
