THE INVENTOR OF THE WOODEN WICK

Wooden Wicks are an internationally patented technology with over 50 Utility and Design Patents covering single-ply, multi-layered, curved, colored, and decorative shaped wicks made from 100% wood, semi-wood, fibrous material, and wood and cotton combinations.

Sourced from FSC certified mills and manufactured in the USA, our Wooden Wicks are a sustainable, natural, and eco-friendly wicking option. Our product assortment allows for Wooden Wicks to work in all vessel sizes, shapes, and wax types.
