All of these candles, depending on the type of wood used, will have their own unique way of using the wick to create a crackle effect.
The main difference in the way these woodwick crackle candles work is that the votive candles are designed to be used as a centerpiece, while the taper candles have two-ends that can be either used together as a centerpiece or by themselves as a candle. The pillar candles are generally used as a candle holder and the candle then sits in the middle of the pillar.
The three main types of wooden wick crackle candles are:
1. Votive Candles
Votive candles are perfect for centerpieces because they are easy to make. In addition, they can be easily made using many different types of wood. Votive candles are typically made using a round log of wood, so they can be seen from the top as well as the bottom.
This type of candle can be made using many different types of wood, but the most common wood used is cedar. The most popular cedar variety used for votive candles are the American cedar logs. This is because it has the best quality and it is the most affordable.
2. Taper Candles
Taper candles are often used in a candle-lighting ceremony. Taper candles are made by cutting a piece of wood into a square or rectangular shape. These candles are used as the base of a candle holder.
Taper candles are typically made using the same types of woods used in votive candles. The most common types of wood used to make taper candles are cherry and cedar.
Taper candles are great for single use. They are generally made using a square or rectangular shape, so they can be used as a candle-lighting ceremony. Taper candles can be used in a candle-lighting ceremony, just make sure the candle is not too hot. If the candle is too hot, the wax will be too sticky to use in the ceremony.
Taper candles are also much easier to make than votive candles. In addition to the square or rectangular shape, the base of a taper candle is also cut off and discarded. This allows the candle-holder to sit flat on the base, while still being able to have a lit candle on top.
3. Pillar Candles
Pillar candles are very popular with candle-holders because they are used in many different ways. Pillar candles are generally tall and narrow. There are different types of pillar candles that are made from different types of wood.
The most common wood used to make pillar candles is cypress. This wood has been used for a long time and is also the most affordable. Other types of wood that can be used to make pillar candles are:
- Basswood
- Cherry
- Hickory
- Oak
- Pine
- Redwood
- Walnut
- Yew
Pillar candles are also much easier to make than votive candles. Instead of having to cut a log of wood to size, you can use the stump of a tree. This allows you to get a pillar candle of the size you want.
