Beeswax candle from the wax I rendered! Fun side project.

Beautiful!

Was this made entirely by hand, or was it an actual pinecone dip? Either way, how would I expect such a candle to actually burn?

I splurged on a silicone mold to get that shape. But it wasn’t perfect given all the nooks and crannies that didn’t get enough wax. It took a few pours before I got this one.

I have no idea how it will burn, but I’ll find out!
