Sold at PBarn. Does the light show through the body of the candle like it does in their ivory color candle? TIA!

No. The birch is a wrap of actual birch bark, not a pattern in the candle wax.

Thanks Marsha2003! I thought I remembered you having these. That's too bad as I think that the light showing through adds a little something extra, especially inside of a lantern. You like them though right?

I do like them. I sort of wish the flame were a bit recessed into the candle as I think that looks better, but I can live with them as they are. In general, I think if you want the glow throughout the candle, CI is a better choice. If you want the flickering flame, then the Luminara work better. Too bad we can't have both effects, but I suspect the Luminara mechanics don't leave much room for an LED deeper inside the body of the candle.

I forgot to say that I saw a few of the birch ones at my local Pottery Barn. You could take a look at them in person to see if you like them. I think today is FREESHIP day if you want to order.

I ordered one in each size of the PB Luminara birch candles last week with FREE S&H. I was also able to use 2 - $10/50 coupon codes by splitting my orders up.
If you or anyone else ordered from PB recently, there is a pamphlet with each order and each one contains 2 - $10/50 cards w/codes and 1 - $10/$50 PB for Kids card w/code.
Too bad all of them are on backorder...will use them this Spring and all year round...

I'm still working on how I will use the birch candles, but here is a picture of them on pedestals and a close-up. The bark wraps the candle, then another layer of wax is added on top of the bark. These are the smallest 3" x 3" size.

Thanks for the info. Marsha2003! I do have a few of the ivory Luminara and they do have a nice glow. I also have a Luminara that is resin/indoor/outdoor and it has no glow at all. I have two darker colored Luminara candles in red and teal and they don't have any glow in the candle body either.

Yes, I did get that coupon code and then saw that they are on backorder until 2015!

That is a great deal that you were able to use those coupon codes. We don't have a Pottery Barn close so I would have to order online. I only have the Free Ship code for today but I'm sure some other offers will pop up before long.
