  1. These are all beautiful, but having to choose I like #1 and #3.  I agree that for #1 it would be fun to try a lighter shade for the wood.  I also  wonder how #3 would look if you just took away the lace surrounding the Blue Thistle, Natural Soy label.  It would still look Victorian but less busy.  Good luck.  I sure do appreciate the work you already have done on these.  

  2. By the way - I also bought some 8 oz apothecary jars but have not started to test yet. Am I correct in believing that if all else is held constant the 8 oz jar will take the same size wick as the 16 oz jar?  Of course I'll test - but it would be so helpful to know where to start. Thanks for any suggestions.

  3. Thanks to everyone - I am new to the site and am learning so much.  I have only been working with candles for  six months, but sure have spent  lot of money testing. :) I use GB 444 and have had great luck, finally,  heating to 185, adding FO off heat at 185, and pouring at 100.  My 8 oz mason jars with EO 10 wicks are great.  However, I am now trying to add the 16 oz apothecary jars to make presents for friends, and am having trouble finding the right wick.  One challenge is that it has a 3.1 inch opening at the top, but the diameter at the base is 4 inches.  I'm testing with 10 oz NG French lavender - EO 14 way too big, 10 looks like it may also be too big.  Does anyone have suggestions?  Should I double wick with a smaller size?  I will be so appreciative for any suggestions.
