I thought I had posted some of these already, but couldn't find them - so I'm sorry if this is a repost for some of them.
But here are some simple but effective looking tealight candle holder sets. I made them all in cascading height, so that they are a bit more interesting. The materials are Zebrawood for the two square sets (sanded to 1,200 then oiled with Scandanavian oil), Padouk, and Redgum burl. The padouk and redgum ones were sanded to 600 then finished with shellawax cream.
To make sure everything was fire-safe before gifting any of these, I put them next to each other and lit tealight candles until they ran out. The timber got warm but no burning smells etc.
Hope you like. Comments and critique very welcome.
