Set of three blackened steel bases with corresponding black 100% beeswax candles.

Steel and beeswax. Hand made by using a slug of steel, heating it up in a forge, cooling half, then crushing down with the brute force of a power hammer. Surface hand finished while still hot by melting beeswax into the pores of the steel. Every one unique in form by the nature of the process. The series was named after seeing its resemblance in form to a grove of alder trees. Better in numbers.
