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. St. Joseph lovingly provided for his family through the work of his hands. Scripture tells us Jesus was "the carpenter's son" and Joseph is often depicted with the tools of his trade. The scents of leather and sawdust of his candle bring to mind his carpenter's shop, where we imagine Jesus and Mary would have sometimes visited him.
Joseph is the patron saint of the universal Church, workers, carpenters, fathers, travelers, and the dying, and his prayers are frequently invoked by those seeking employment and those trying to buy or sell a house. St. Joseph the Worker's feast day is May 1.
St. Joseph the Worker, pray for us.
*This candle is also available in Spanish: Carpintería*
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
Bought it as a Christmas gift for my boyfriend, and he loves the smell. It has a subtle, manly scent and perfectly embodies a "carpenter shop" and St. Joseph! Thank you for a great product. Will be shopping at Corda again!
I am very happy with the selections I purchased. They are not overpowering.
The scent of wood shavings in St Joseph’s workshop is wonderful!

the odor of the candle was perfect
This is my 3rd or 4th time purchasing these candles and I love them!!! the scents are amazing and the quality is as well. I shared them with my roommates and now there are many of them in the house. Recently I have been buying them for my boyfriend who lights a candle in the evenings. My favorite is to give him the St. Joseph candle and ask for his intercession in his life while it burns. It is just a simple way to being the saints in to our everyday lives and I am grateful to the whole Corda team for their work!
I love St Joseph, and with this candle, I find the scent of a "home" and wood that makes us meditate in the life of the Holy Family while on earth. Thank you and God bless you!
