Saturday evening, after the afternoon Happy Hour, Ted and I invited everyone over for a "Concho Candle." (The idea began as a Magruder Candle, morphed into a WIN Candle and ended up here as a Concho Candle!) Here's Ted sitting down on the job. He needed to cut the candle into 8 pieces without cutting through the log! You can see he cut several logs so we are ready any time in the future we want to do this again. He was covered in sawdust and very tired when he finished.
We lit the candle early in the evening because they burn for a long time. To light the candle you need a duct tape wick. Be sure the tape is burnable then insert it in the middle of the cuts...and light. In a little while...you get this!
...and later...this.
It gets even more beautiful the longer it burns.
Winona, Joey and Heidi are having a blast.
At the end of the evening, we were fascinated by the design created by the cuts and the burn pattern. It was hard to leave.
Stay tuned....Part 3 is coming!!!!!!!!!!!

You are really being prolific today! I actually forgot it was originally a Magruder Candle, although I don't remember why.
