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 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.
I love St. Joseph and my grandfather had a wood shop and I love the beautiful imagery the scent of this candle brings me thinking of these amazing men working hard for their families with humility and love. Highly recommend! Ite ad Joseph! Go to St. Joseph he longs to be your spiritual guide.
I really love the smell of this candle and the thoughtfulness of the design, packaging, etc. I want to start by saying I have the St. Teresa of Avila candle and it smells amazing!! My only issue with this one is that it is not strongly scented. I had it lit for a few hours and had to put my nose directly over it to smell anything at all… a bit disappointing.
A more subtle aroma than some of your other candles, but a worthy blend to honor the Guardian of the Redeemer…I’m enjoying it.
Love the candles, they smell great and are beautiful!
Living up north in the country and loving it!
I’m a candlemaker too. The moment I discovered these candles at Little Flower Gift Shop in Katy, Texas, I was filled with utmost excitement of how CORDA creates candles in honor of saints and most especially the Catholic faith.
I know the time and effort that goes into making candles and super fussy about fragrance strength.
CORDA fragrance strength is perfection and packaging is above and beyond beautiful.
Initially, I purchased St. Joseph Carpenter Shop to light during my 33 day devotion of consecration to St. Joseph.
Then, on January 28, 2023, I purchased buy 3 get one free, which happened to be the day of my Consecration to St. Joseph.
Such an miraculous way for St. Joseph to make himself known to me.
I consider CORDA candles sacred and holy flames that warm my heart.
Thank you for all your hard work.
CORDA has become a part of my life on earth.
I’ve been a soloprenuer over 35 years (long before it was cool to have a “side hustle” or own a business).
I pray the love and grace of God brings peace and relief wherever business becomes overwhelming.
Sincerely,
Dawn
I actually bought this candle, as well as Alpine Ascent, for my Dad, who is also a carpenter named Joseph. My family and I have always loved the smell of Wood shavings, because it meant Dad just came home from work! He texted me the other day and said that they loved it so much, that in the two weeks they’ve had the candle, it’s almost gone! Wonderful gift for one who gives himself every day for us.
