What are the Lids Made From?
The lids are made from naturally fallen pine, oak, cedar, cherry, walnut, and other local Wisconsin trees.
Why does Each Lid look Different?
The lids look different because they are just as unique as the tree they came from. You will notice the natural wood grain, the knotholes, and a whole multitude of natural wood variations! Much like snowflakes, no two lids are ever alike. The variations are absolutely normal, and, in fact, they are one of the things that makes the lids so special.
Who Makes the Lids?
The lids are custom made for us by Creative Edge Landscapes, a local Wisconsin woodworking and landscape design business that has the same commitment to high quality as we at 3-8-1 Candles do.
How are the Lids Finished?
Creative Edge Landscapes uses a custom high quality lacquer to finish the lids and provide the lovely gloss and sheen you'll love to show off. This lacquer is also extremely helpful for lid reuse. One of the most popular reuses among our fans has been coasters -- and the special lacquer helps repel water and the sweating of glasses and cans.
What is in Store for the Lids?
We have some exciting changes and upgrades to the lids coming up soon, so stay tuned! They will still be the gorgeous hand crafted wood, but they'll look even more beautiful in upcoming months.
The lids are just another reason I get excited to receive my order of candles. I love natural wood and get so excited to see which lids I will receive. I got a light and dark one like the one you have pictured above and I was so excited.
ReplyDeleteI love the lids and can't wait to see the upgrades! I love the fact that you use recycled, fallen trees to make these... it can't get better than that... or can it?!
ReplyDeleteThe only thing I wish was different was the brand. Its not big enough to read.
