Wooden Wick Candles; the Next Generation

Author: The Jack B. Nimble Candle Development Team

Wooden wick candles made their way into the candle market place a relatively short time ago. This was one of the great innovations in the candle industry. For the first time the candle lover could fragrance their home, enjoy the serenity of the candle flame and now the soothing sound of a crackling fire. By replacing the traditional candle wick with a specially designed wooden wick, the popping and relaxing crackle of an open fire was achieved.

As with most innovations, the originator would control the market. There were imitators, but they didn’t last long. So if you wanted all the attributes of a wooden wick candle, you had only one Candle Company from which to choose. A very good candle and nice design, but priced well above standard candles of equal size. Even today the sale prices are on the high side. This makes for a difficult decision in today’s tough economy. No need to worry, the next generation has arrived.

Independent candle makers for the first time have the ability to produce quality wooden wick candles and offer them at reasonable prices. Excellent scent throw and burn times as high as 100 hours or more make wooden wick candles a great value. Now that there is a breakthrough in pricing for the candle consumer, the demand for wooden wick candles will sky rocket. If you were reluctant about purchasing a wooden wick candle before, you should feel confidant and excited about the opportunity to now experience this candle innovation.

Keep in mind as you shop for the perfect wooden wick candle, all candles are not created equal. There will be many independent candle makers looking for your business. Some very good candle companies and some not so good. Where can you find wooden wick candles? Shop online and look for the best value in a wooden wick candle. Also search out the best selection as well. With the reasonable prices that will be available shop the many fine independent candle makers out there and you’ll find the perfect wooden wick candle.

It’s not just about the fragrance anymore. It’s about sight and sound of that soft soothing crackle. The thought of sitting around an open camp fire or staring into the flames of a fireplace can be extremely peaceful and relaxing. At the end of a long hard day this setting can be extremely inviting. Use your imagination and enjoy your new wooden wick candle just about anywhere that makes you happy.

Please remember, a burning candle is an open flame. Be careful. Wooden wick candles will have a larger flame than that of a standard wicked candle. Always follow the basic rules of fire safety when burning candles. Never leave a burning candle unattended. Never burn a candle on or near anything that may catch on fire. Keep out of the reach of children and pets. Avoid burning candles in drafts. Read the label and follow use and safety instructions carefully.
