Peach 4-Light Candle

Regular price $46.00 Sale

These candles are made from peach wood rescued from Niagara region orchards.  Each candle includes four glass tealight holders inset into the wood.  These glass holders are extra wide compared to normal glass tealight holders.

I have done my best to match the colour of the wood in the photographs, but it is hard to duplicate online the yellow/orange peach colour.

Canada's Niagara Region is famous for its fruit farms.  Long before it became a renowned wine region, the Niagara peninsula, just southeast of Toronto, was famous for its stone-fruit orchards. The gentle climate unique to this region supported many thousands of acres of orchards growing cherries, peaches, plums, nectarines and apples.

Farmers actively manage their orchards, which often involves removing unhealthy or unproductive trees, or sometimes even removing entire orchards to switch to another crop.

Most of the time the trees are bulldozed in a pile and burned in the fields for their ashes nourish the next crop.

We work with local land owners and farmers to salvage the wood from these trees.  Hidden in these trees is often a beautiful and colourful wood that we use to make candles and charcuterie platters. The wood from these carefully pruned trees often features a colourful and swirling grain.  The trunk and branches are usually heavily twisted or curved.

We dry the wood in our own kiln, plane it smooth and finish it with tung oil to bring out the colour and grain. Every candle is unique, and sometimes planing off 1/4 of an inch reveals a completely different design.

This candle includes four glass tealight holders and four wax tealights.

Similar candles are available with one, two, three, and five candles.  They are also available in plain glass tealight holders.
