how do I make wood wicks for candles?

Answer 1

I don't know if it is possible unless you have the right wood. I would think that if you were to soak wooden scewers in hot wax, the use the scewer as the center of the candle it could possible work.

Old Virginia Candle company uses something that looks like a tongue depresser.

Let us know what happens.

Answer 3

I actually work at a store that sells this brand of candle, but the odds of you living in southeastern Minnesota aren't very good. If you can't find them any where else, e-mail me and I will ship you some. The other option is, I actually think your boss would be flattered to know that you liked the gift so much that you want to buy more. No need to feel awkward, it will make him/her feel good. Wood Wick also carries reed diffusers for rooms that you don't want to light a candle in or any room that needs a nice fresh scent continuously. It is safer because there is no flame, just the scent.

Answer 4

I've never heard of wood wicks. I went on the internet and they have all kinds of things you can research. I went with wood wick candles then from there. Sorry, not enough time. Also try candle making.

Answer 7

A layered wax taper candle having a centrally disposed wick in which the wax and the layers is disposed in a streaked wood-grain like arrangement. Apparatus for fabricating the taper candles includes a rotating table driven in a horizontal plane by a driving motor. Wick holders are disposed in spaced relation near the periphery of the table so that they are driven in a rotary path to pass through a pouring station also located at the periphery of the table. Pouring spouts are located at the pouring station for directing a stream of liquid wax to flow therefrom. The stream of liquid wax has opposing lateral flow direction components therein. A combination recovery sump and liquid wax storage container is located below the pouring point to retrieve liquid wax emitting therefrom. A submerged pump is in the container to urge the liquid wax from the container through a conduit to the spouts at the pouring station. A heated platen is located adjacent to and below the pouring station for contacting the lower end of a plurality of wicks depending from the wick holders. Wax poured around the depending wicks at the pouring station surrounds the wicks in layered fashion each time the wicks pass through the liquid wax stream and the layers are defined in length on the wick by contact with the heated platen at the lower end thereof. Repeated passage into and out of the liquid wax stream and over the heated platen provides a layered wax taper having a defined length.
