Laila and 36" Beeswax Taper Candle

Laila (see my other blog for Laila's story) wants to know "how tall is this candle?"
It's 36" of luscious beeswax in a unique holder that Reed made. Our front door is in the background and that's only one half of the double door! No problem moving furniture in and out of this house. The doors were hand planed in 1832.
I don't have vats tall enough to accommodate making 36" candles. So this candle was made by repeatedly pouring beeswax from the top - down over the primed cotton wick, cooling between applications. After a week or so of curing, I apply color and shape - voila!
These one-of-a-kind candles look great on a stand alone table, or on the floor by the fireplace or wherever you want to make a statement.
