rustic 'canes @ local shop

Looks more like what we do with dip and carve than what a cane is. The flame is from a oil burner insert like what carvers use. I bet from the flame being so high up that there is only a small amount of wax taken out the top and then a hole drilled for the "tight fitting" glass insert. Bruce

Bruce,

Yep, they make & sell 'em in all sizes & prices. Ya'd have to use a forklift to get some of 'em home :tongue2: and of course, the plastic to pay for it?

When I first started making candles, I was buying scrap wax from them; scented & colored for 50cents/lb. Made some great and cheap chunkies. Then they stopped selling it.

I've seen these and it looks like they do their initial pour and then tip the mold quickly to get that color to run up the sides of the mold before pouring the 2nd color -- kinda like doing drapped layers but it's very thin.
