I think the mouth on the top of a candlestick is called a sconce. I have been given a number of very nice candles, including beeswax, that the candle is too big to fit into the current inventory of candlesticks. I can't figure out how to find quality candlesticks with bigger openings for the candles. Any experts? _________________________ NRA Endowment Member _________________________ "Of all tyrannies, a tyranny exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive.

Not an expert on candles or candlesticks, but this sounds like a great justification to purchase a lathe! "Honey, it was the only way I could get them to fit!" | |||

How much too big are the candles? If it's just a little bit, you can use this to shave down the base of the candle to fit. https://www.amazon.com/WICKMAN...Shaver/dp/B019QWP9VW | |||

You should call a coupla hard, pipe-hittin' niggers, who'll go to work with a pair of pliers and a blow torch. Life moves pretty fast.

"Sconce" is the term for a light fixture (candle or electric) that is attached to a wall. | |||

Wow, talk about first world problems! Maladat’s solution if you want to get fancy, or a knife used to whittle the bottom of the candles if you prefer zero cost. It is just wax, you know. | |||

Thanks, beeswax candles can't get shaved down to fit smaller holes or they start to unwind, I'm told. Lathe and making my own would be a perfect solution, once I have the time. _________________________ NRA Endowment Member _________________________ "Of all tyrannies, a tyranny exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive.
