“Natural” – The Purest Beeswax Candle for a Clean, Toxin-Free Burn
In a world filled with synthetic fragrances and artificial dyes, sometimes the simplest things bring the most comfort. Introducing “Natural,” a 100% pure beeswax candle that embodies authenticity, purity, and sustainability. Free from added scents and colorants, this candle lets the natural beauty of beeswax shine—offering a warm, golden glow and a subtly sweet, honey-like aroma straight from the hive.
Why Choose a Pure Beeswax Candle?
Beeswax is the gold standard of candle-making, known for its clean, soot-free burn and air-purifying properties. Unlike paraffin or soy-based candles, beeswax naturally emits negative ions that help remove pollutants, improving indoor air quality. If you love candles but are sensitive to artificial fragrances, “Natural” is the perfect choice for you.
Handcrafted with Care
Each candle is hand-poured in small batches in our Pacific Northwest workshop, using only the finest sustainably sourced beeswax. The addition of a premium crackling wood wick enhances the ambiance, creating a cozy atmosphere reminiscent of a gentle fireplace. Packaged in a reusable, USA-made Ball Mason jar, this candle is as eco-friendly as it is beautiful.
Key Features:
✔ Material: 3oz (85g) of 100% pure beeswax – no additives, no toxins ✔ Wick: Premium crackling wood wick for a cozy, rustic feel ✔ Burn Time: 15+ hours – exceeding industry standards for long-lasting use ✔ Aroma: Naturally sweet and mild, derived from the honeycomb itself ✔ Packaging: Reusable Ball Mason jar for sustainable living ✔ Production: Hand-poured in small batches using time-honored craftsmanship
A Candle for Minimalists & Nature Lovers
Whether you’re sensitive to fragrances, appreciate clean-burning candles, or simply love the raw beauty of nature, “Natural” is designed for you. Its understated elegance makes it perfect for any space, whether you use it as a meditation companion, a bedside accent, or a thoughtful gift for a loved one.
Why Wood Wicks?
Unlike traditional cotton wicks, wood wicks burn cleaner and provide a soft, crackling sound that adds warmth to any room. They also create an even burn, ensuring you get the most out of your candle.
Perfect For:
🎁 Gifting – A thoughtful, eco-conscious present for birthdays, holidays, or housewarmings 🧘♀️ Minimalist & fragrance-sensitive spaces – No overpowering scents, just pure, natural beeswax 🏡 Creating a serene ambiance – A soft glow and subtle aroma for relaxation and comfort
Candle Care Tips:
✔ First Burn Matters: Allow the wax to melt evenly across the jar to prevent tunneling. ✔ Trim the Wick: Keep your wood wick trimmed to ¼ inch before each use for a steady flame. ✔ Burn Responsibly: Limit burn time to 3-4 hours per session for optimal longevity. ✔ Avoid Drafts: Place in a safe, draft-free area for an even burn.

Workshop Glow: The Warmth of Craftsmanship in a Hand-Poured Beeswax Candle
Inspired by the spirit of the workshop, designed for those who appreciate quality and tradition.
The Essence of a Craftsman’s Retreat
There’s something undeniably comforting about the warmth of a well-worn workshop—the scent of sawdust in the air, the steady rhythm of hand tools at work, and the glow of sunlight streaming through aged windows. Workshop Glow, our handcrafted 100% pure beeswax candle, captures that rugged charm with an earthy blend of cedar wood and spicy clove.

Whether you’re unwinding after a long day in the shop or simply looking to bring that same sense of craftsmanship into your home, this candle offers an inviting warmth that lingers long after the flame is out.
Why Choose Beeswax?
Not all candles are created equal. Unlike paraffin candles, which release harmful toxins, beeswax burns clean, producing a bright, steady flame that naturally purifies the air. With a longer burn time and a subtle honeyed aroma, beeswax is the gold standard for candle-making.
What makes Workshop Glow stand out? ✅ 100% Pure Beeswax – Clean-burning, toxin-free, and naturally air-purifying. ✅ Hand-Poured in Small Batches – Crafted with care in the Pacific Northwest. ✅ Premium Crackling Wood Wick – Adds a cozy ambiance with a gentle crackle. ✅ Reusable Ball Mason Jar – A sustainable, USA-made jar perfect for repurposing.
With 15+ hours of burn time, this candle offers superior longevity while filling your space with an inviting, masculine warmth.
How to Get the Most Out of Your Candle
To ensure the best experience, follow these simple care tips: 🔥 Allow the wax to melt evenly to the edges on the first burn to prevent tunneling. ✂️ Trim the wood wick to ¼ inch before each use for a clean, consistent flame. ⏳ Burn for 3-4 hours max at a time to extend longevity and fragrance throw. 🌬️ Keep away from drafts to ensure even burning.
A Candle Designed for Makers & Thinkers
Perfect for home offices, workshops, or dens, Workshop Glow is more than just a candle—it’s an experience. Whether you’re looking for a unique gift for a craftsman, a way to enhance your space, or simply a high-quality alternative to mass-produced candles, this is the perfect choice.

That timeless feeling is exactly what we’ve captured in Lodge Ash, a premium, handcrafted beeswax candle designed to evoke the rugged sophistication of a fireside retreat.
With a fragrance blend of rich pipe tobacco and Egyptian amber, Lodge Ash is a candle steeped in tradition.

How to Use
It’s easy to keep your wood in top shape: 1️⃣ Clean the surface and ensure it’s dry. 2️⃣ Rub a small amount of conditioner onto the wood using a soft cloth. 3️⃣ Let it absorb for at least 15 minutes (or overnight for deeper conditioning). 4️⃣ Buff with a clean cloth to reveal a smooth, nourished finish. 5️⃣ Repeat as needed whenever your wood looks or feels dry.
At Cascade Mountain Woodworking, we take pride in creating products that stand the test of time. Our natural herbal wood conditioner is crafted with the same care and dedication we bring to all our handmade goods—because quality should never be compromised.
