Product description

A wooden crackling wick with stand designed for making container candles. Instead of a cotton wick, a thin wooden slat burns, which gently crackles as it burns. The set includes both the wick and a metal stand that holds the slat perpendicular to the bottom of the container.

This is a single-layer wick — one slat made from wood from certified sources. The short length is suitable for lower containers and smaller candles, where a longer wick would need to be trimmed significantly.

What makes the wooden wick interesting

Burning sound – the wick belongs to the crackling series; the slat quietly crackles as it burns.
Single slat – the single-layer wick fits into the stand as one straight piece.
Stand included – the metal stand keeps the wick perpendicular to the bottom of the container; no need to purchase it separately.
Material – according to the manufacturer, the wick is made from natural wood, free from allergens and biodegradable.

Use in candle making

The wick is designed for container candles. The designation .04 indicates the thickness of the slat according to the manufacturer; a higher number means a thicker slat. The diameter of container the wick can handle depends on the wax, fragrance and dye, so suitability is determined by test burning.

Before producing a larger batch, we recommend casting one test candle using your own recipe and container. This lets you verify the burn before committing material to a full production run.

Assembly procedure

Insert the slat into the slot of the metal stand.
Place the stand in the centre of the bottom of a clean, dry container.
Pour the wax slowly, away from the wick, so the stand does not shift.
Once the wax has set, trim the wick to the appropriate height.

Frequently asked questions

What does the designation .04 mean for a wooden wick?

The designation .04 on a wooden wick indicates the thickness of the slat according to the manufacturer. A higher number means a thicker slat, a lower number means a thinner one. Thickness, alongside width, is one of the parameters used to select a wick for a candle. Whether a particular thickness suits a given recipe and container is determined by test burning.

Does a wooden wick need a stand?

Yes, a wooden wick is placed in the container using a stand that holds it perpendicular to the bottom. In this set, the metal stand for flat wooden wicks is included. The slat is inserted into the stand, and the stand is placed in the centre of the bottom of the container before pouring the wax.

What is the wooden wick made of?

The wooden wick is made from wood sourced from certified forests. It consists of one thin slat, making it a single-layer wick. The manufacturer states that the wick is natural, free from allergens and biodegradable. The stand included in the set is metal.

Which candles is the short wooden wick suitable for?

The short wooden wick is suitable for lower containers and smaller container candles. With a low container, the significant trimming that would be required for a longer wick is not necessary. The appropriate container diameter depends on the wax, fragrance and dye, so it is verified with a test candle.

Does the wooden wick crackle when burning?

Yes, this wooden wick belongs to the crackling series and crackles gently when burning. The sound comes from the burning of the wooden slat, which replaces the cotton wick in the candle. How the wick behaves in a specific recipe is revealed by a test candle cast before producing a larger batch.
