Candle-makingWritten by

Various peopleCandle-making was very common in the town-land of Cheekpoint about one hundred years ago. But now the craft died out except for a few of the very old people. It is said that nearly in every house the home-made candle was to be seen.A big log of wood is got first. Then it is put to dry near the fire for a couple of days. When all the sap is dried out it is bored with a hot iron. Then tallow is poured into the candle-holes, and wicks made of hemp with weights on their ends are dropped through the centre of each candle. For about twenty minutes the candles are left to set. When they are taken out all are fit for use.(leanann ar an chéad leathanach eile)- Bailitheoir
