Carpenter Shop
These rugged scents of leather and sawdust are inspired by St. Joseph the Worker.
Nuanced with notes of amber, cedarwood, lavender, bergamot, rosewood, and mint.
Behind the Inspiration
This just man was a courageous and strong husband, with an obedient and humble heart. Through the work of his hands, Joseph provided for the Holy Family. Scents of leather and sawdust recall the shop where he worked, and where Jesus and Mary would have visited him.
St. Joseph the Worker’s feast day is May 1.

You’ll get the cleanest, longest, and safest burn from your candle with a few simple steps:
- Always trim the wick before lighting to 1/8”–1/4”
- Burn until the melted wax reaches edge to edge, or very nearly, to reduce tunneling
- Burn only up to 4 hours at a time
- Always keep a burning candle in sight, away from flammable materials, out of drafts, out of reach of pets and children, and on a heat-safe surface
- Keep out of direct sunlight
I was looking for something manly for a gift for my Grandfather. This candle is well made with a refreshing and warm scent. I am so pleased with my purchase!
I love the Carpenter Shop candle! It makes me feel close to Jesus and St. Joseph! Especially while I craft for Christmas! The quality and beauty of CORDA candles has been top-notch since I started purchasing them a few years ago! Love this company and their mission of spreading God’s love through their high quality craft!
The Carpenter Shop scent smells great and just as described. Gave off the perfect amount of scent not over powering at all. I gave them to my husband for his office and he is pleased with the scent as well. The packing was very nice. I liked that the tea lights are in a clear container and not metal. Overall would buy again and would recommend them.
My candle arrived so quickly, and was beautifully packaged!
I got this is a gift for my mom because of her devotion to St Joseph. It was perfect for her and she loves it. I had to email after I placed my order and Anna was great in communicating with me.
Carpenter Shop is an earthy scent of leather and wood, exactly how I would think of St, Joseph's carpenter shop smelling. I am devoted to St, Joseph and this candle helps me to feel closer to him. I ordered from CORDA to support my parish's Right to Life ministry.
Fantastic candle. Scent is mild but inspirational. Much like I imagine St. Joseph was himself.
I belong to St Joseph Parish, so this candle has a special place in my heart and I'm sharing Corda with my parishioners! Thank you, Anna!
I absolutely love the simplicity and scents of the Corda candles! Anytime I need a candle, whether as a gift or for myself, this will be my source. Very special thanks for your flawless shipping detail!
My family loves lighting our St Joseph candle. Carpenter shop is truly well done. Its very subtle and enjoyable. All the candles have a great long burn time.
