Candle Holder

[The A Train]

Heres a quick and dirty tea light holder. I made this from some scrap walnut mr ken was gracious enough to let go of. Started out as rough wood with live edge. It ripped it down on the table saw; cant recall measurements but it was somewhere around a 2x2x20. Then I got a 1 1/2" forstner bit and bored out 11 holes about 1/2" deep. The finish is just some cheap mineral oil.

Its not the best piece ive made; some of the holes are off center, but the wife seems to like it enough and thats what matters!

nice, could be a good outreach project to make small 3 or 4 candle holder.

Glad you could make something useful out of that scrap Walnut. Very nicely done. Happy wife, happy life.

If we did this for outreach, would we need to put a disclaimer on it not to leave the candles unattended?

Nicely done, Adam

Also, great idea about an outreach project. I saw battery operated tealights at the Dollar Tree the other day, should solve the flame issue.

In this day and age, I'd say we should put warning labels on everything!

"Warning, do not leave lit candles unattended"
"Warning, you can poke your eye out with these lightsabers"
"Warning, these lightsabers will not protect you from angry ewoks"
"Warning, turning a pen on a lathe is addictive, and can result in large credit card charges at Klingspors"
"Warning, a handmade pen will not make your father in law like you, no matter what your wife says"

I'd second the candle concerns. The few home fires I've personally seen were mostly candle related and only distantly followed by grill or grease fires.

Oh wait, the cat once started the toaster while a tea towel was draped across the top. That cat could cause more trouble...
