Im looking for as many beeswax candles as possible. Ideally I’d like to trade for them, I’ll make something you want in return out of wood, horn, or leather, or a combination. PM me and we can discuss details. Thanks!

FYI, if you strike out, camping stores like REI do sell a 100% beeswax candle.

You can buy candle molds off of Amazon and bees wax from the web and make as many as you want. It real easy to do, a heat gun melts it down easily and pour into the mold, let it cool. Done

I have several, can you make a slim Jim holster for a 1860 Army?

I think that's fine trading for one item to another. Just curious why you don't make your own? Beeswax candles are very simple and take no time. They are also pretty inexpensive as things go.

The Log Cabin Shop has a box of them, probably a hundred candles if not more. you should try giving them a call.
I might try to make some one of these days, but it’s mostly because I enjoy doing trades. It’s fun and it allows me to make items that are outside my usual preference of design if that makes sense!
Contact your county extension agent for names of bee keepers in your area. Beekeeping is a big hobby. You should be able to buy all the wax you need. From there you can dip candles and do yer own thang.
