There’s something quietly enchanting about a wood wick candle. As the flame flickers to life, it releases a gentle crackle— like the soft whisper of a fireplace on a winter night. The sound alone can make a room feel warmer, more intimate, as if time itself has slowed just for you. Here’s what else sets them apart:
1. Clean, even Burn
-
Wood wicks create a horizontal flame that melts wax more evenly across the surface, reducing tunneling (that annoying wax ring around the edge).
-
They also produce less soot when properly trimmed, keeping your jar cleaner and the air purer.
- Trim the char from your wood wicks before each use. This will help with lighting, embers & debris.
2. Sustainable & Natural
-
Most wood wicks are made from sustainably sourced hardwoods (often Forest Stewardship Council certified), and many come from natural or untreated wood — no additives or metals.
-
This makes them a great eco-conscious choice.
- We use FSC certified cherry wood wicks in all of our candles.
4. Unique Flame Aesthetic
-
The flame on a wood wick is typically wider and lower, giving off a warm, flickering glow that feels luxurious and intimate — perfect for creating atmosphere.
5. Longer Burn Time
-
Because the flame burns more slowly and evenly, wood wick candles often last longer than cotton wick candles of the same size.
6. Enhanced Fragrance Throw
-
The even burn helps the wax pool melt completely, releasing fragrance evenly across the candle’s life.
-
The gentle heat can help amplify scent diffusion, especially in soy or beeswax candles like the ones we create.
Each of our handcrafted, wood wick candles, burn with a quiet grace — a soft glow, a gentle crackle, and the lingering beauty of a flame that soothes the soul.
