Davy's Tallow Candles

Davy managed to get some good grade tallow and he decided to have an impromptu candle making session


Melting down the tallow ready to use


Quick wick made from flax and set in the melted tallow


and a Kudlik type lamp made from a scallop shell



and both worked very well


but this one was definitely my favourite!

    Very nice. I have made candles several times but no tallow candles yet.

    The scallop shell is my favorite, too! So pretty and functional at the same time.
