It was back in the summer of '93 when I was first enlightened with the idea of making candles. My good buddy heft and I were hiking along the rugged shoreline of the Olympic Peninsula. On our first evening, as the final rays of sunshine dipped below the horizon, we breathed deep of the fresh ocean air and fixed our gazes upon the emerging stars. After several hours of philosophical banter on the meaning of life, my eyes settled on the most recognizable Beacon in the northern sky,the big Dipper. Suddenly my future flashed before my eyes. I would use elements of nature, which I so respect, to create a natural source of light. Handdippedbeeswax candles. And so big dipperwax works was born. Like drones to their queen, we have served and remain dedicated to our values, and proudly continue to make the best all natural candles available.Horizon, we breathed deep of the fresh ocean air and fixed our gazes upon the emerging stars.
