BruceCarvesWax Posted October 11, 2005 Author Share Posted October 11, 2005 Video? If I could ever get my laptop to go wireless you could all watch me carve one on web cam thru yahoo messenger or thru some chat room that everyone could come too. (have the card and wireless deal, just need to take time to figure it out) I still want to make a gif of me carving, but just dont have the time. Micheal, thanks those words, really really thanks. Yes my Father learned a month before he trained me... so we call it 2nd generation even if it was only a month... but my 4 kids, they will really be able to say it.In Blue Ridge mall in Kansas city years ago I saw another carver that put me to shame. This guy was a freak, truly great. He could make a 10 inch perfect cut in half a second, this dude could cook, so I dont think of myself as a master and have never looked into geting that "title" ... but it would be kinda cool and would be nice for marketing products.Love Waynes world!Web site? Opps, sorry your gona get a 404 error there. I don't have a web site for a few reasons, mostly because right now I sell as much as I want to sell at my local shows and a few wholesale accounts. I did the "store manager" thing and worked umpteenhundred hours a week for way too many years and had total burn out and I dont want that to happen with candles. I just want to go slow and do my thing so it dont get to me. Im too picky to let anyone else pour the candles so Im kinda stuck with what I can do myself. I do get lots of help from the wife and kids.. just not in pouring and I have to be there watching what ever they do. LOL I use stuff like the rustic angels and pies to slow people down so they can smell (buy) the other candles we sell so we can get that repeat business. Thats why I had that custom mold made that is like 18 inch tall, I have never seen a carved candle that big and thought it would be good to just have on the table to get people to stop. (I just didnt count on how heavy that sucker was gona be with 30 coats of wax on it) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SatinDucky Posted October 11, 2005 Share Posted October 11, 2005 All are gorgeous, but the rustic angel and black/white ones are just too beautiful for words...Ohhh, what an exciting idea to be able to watch you work! Just how long would it take you to get those hooked up??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobinInOR Posted October 11, 2005 Share Posted October 11, 2005 Ah, it's been awhile since you posted your carving, great as usual. I just love seeing candles that are art - that have something of the person in them. I know the normal containers and votives are the continual money makers, but these are originals, every one.
