Candle having a planar wick and method of and equipment for making same..

A candle having a body of a meltable fuel and a planar wick. When lit, the candle provides a unique flame formation, usable in a variety of decorative applications.

The wick can be configured to evenly deplete the meltable fuel, while allowing for candles having relatively large and unique body configurations.

The body of candle and/or the wick may include scented oil to promote the release of fragrance upon heating. The wick preferably is formed of wood, thereby providing an acoustic contribution to ambiance and improved combustion that generates less soot than conventional cotton wick candles.
