Simple Candle Holder

That’s a good way to make use of those small pieces of really cool wood! Need to remember this one …

Fabulous idea… and I really like your choice of timber…!!

Fantastic candle holders. Ggreat use of some beautifull scraps. Love the combo of maple and walnut.

The angle on the edge is barley noticable but just enough to give it that something extra. Great design and build.

Keep it up.

Scrappy

What can I say Eddy…great minds think alike! I was going to put legs on them but I could not decide on a style I liked. I was also had an issue with time. Thanks for the comments everyone.

great looking candle holders.

I like your wood choices. The walnut beefs up the maple by lending not only depth of color and a contrasting wood grain, but also a nicely simple design element.

What color tint did you use on this piece?

I used Trans Tint Dark Vintage Maple. The I don’t remember the proportion of dye to water. It was very light though. My goal with the dye was to “pop” the grain on the maple.
