Seeking originality and design freedom I turned my wild idea of using a wood lathe to turn large pillar candles into uniquely designed, functional beeswax candles. Every candles has been poured into a large custom made mould and is then hand 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. W7cm x H32cm 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 smoky please dip the wick into the melted wax to extinguish, then straighten it back up, then relight. All the candles are 100% beeswax that has been produced by our bees.
