2 C fine sawdust
1 lb melted wax
Chip or cut up wax into small pieces, and melt over water, never directly over flame or burner. This can be done in the same can that you are going to use for the candle. Put the sawdust in a shoebox and pour the wax over the sawdust. Mix until it holds together well when pressed in your hands. Pack and press the mixture into the can tightly and firmly. Make a hole with a long knitting needle. Add the wick, pushing it all the way to the bottom of the can. Pour melted wax over the top to secure.
