Using a wood lathe I turn beeswax pillar candle into one-off, unique designed candles. Every candles has been poured into a large candle mould that I have custom made to best suit the lathe size. The large pillar candle is then turned into the designed shape which takes a minimum of 45 minutes each. Given that all these candles are produced using a lathe they have imperfections. The base of the candles have a hole where the lathe attaches producing a hole around 2-4cm deep. Some wicks can be slightly off centre due to the spinning and movement of the machine and the tops of the candles can have a rough finish to them. W8cm x H30cm Burning instructions. These candles have been designed to be burnt for long periods of time with a minimum burn of 3 hours at a time. Given the width of some of these candles they must burn for a long time to develop a wide melting pool to prevent tunneling. The wick must also be snapped shorter before every burn and if burning for a long time and the flame becomes smoky please dip the wick into the melted wax to extinguish, then straighten it back up, then relight. The bubble shaped candle is approximately 30cm high and 8cm wide.
