wooden wicks require slightly more maintenance than traditional cotton wicks.
All wood wicks are cut from untreated wood which means that slight variances in thickness and grain can be expected. This means, no 2 wood wick candles are identical so they may have a slightly different burn.

STEP 1:
allow the wax to fully melt to the edge of the jar, both on the first burn and consecutive ones! (this may take a few hours)

.
STEP 3:
do not burn the candle for longer than 4 hours at a time. it's time for a new candle when there is 1/2" wax remaining!
