Twisted Beeswax Taper Candles

$16.00

Description

Set a striking table with these Pure Beeswax Twisted Taper Candles. Each pair is hand-dipped in filtered molten beeswax using a traditional method, then hand-twisted to create its distinct sculptural shape — so no two candles are exactly alike. Made from 100% pure beeswax for a clean, non-toxic burn.

These 10" x 7/8" twisted tapers have an elegant silhouette and offer the long, clean burn that beeswax is known for. Naturally unscented with a subtle honey aroma, with no artificial fragrances or additives. Sold as a pair, these handcrafted tapers evoke the timeless symbolism of twin flames—two distinct candles that burn beautifully together, making them especially meaningful for intimate dinners, weddings, anniversaries, and heartfelt celebrations.

Big Dipper Wax Works prioritizes sustainability. Their beeswax is ethically sourced from small-scale beekeepers, and their candles are free from paraffin, chemicals, and synthetic dyes. They use eco-friendly, non-toxic colorants when necessary to create beautiful, handcrafted candles that support both the environment and your health.

A note from the owner of Big Dipper Wax Works: "It was back in the summer of '93 when I was first enlightened with the idea of making candles. My good buddy Hefe and I were hiking along the rugged shoreline of the Olympic Peninsula. On our first evening, as the final rays of sunshine dipped below the horizon, we breathed deep of the fresh ocean air and fixed our gazes upon the emerging stars. After several hours of philosophical banter on the meaning of life, my eyes settled on the most recognizable beacon in the northern sky, "The Big Dipper". Suddenly my future flashed before my eyes. I would use elements of nature, which I so respect, to create a natural source of light. Hand "dipped" beeswax candles. And so "Big Dipper" Wax Works was born. Like drones to their queen, we have served and remain dedicated to our values, and proudly continue to make the best all natural candles available."

 

Care Instructions

These pure beeswax taper candles are designed to be dripless. However, like pillars, any form of draft will cause the candle to drip and burn down much faster.

To prevent dripping, keep away from open windows, fans, or excessive airflow of any kind, and make sure that the candles are set up straight up and down.

Taper candles may not need trimming each burn. Trim as needed to maintain about ¼-½” wick height. Too short a wick may also lead to drips. Extinguish and trim the wick if the end of the wick is producing ash.

Use a candle snuffer to extinguish the candle flame mess-free, by removing the oxygen, making sure not to touch the candle or wick with the snuffer, which could weaken the side wall causing it to drip later.
