size is 12 in. long by 2 1/2 to 3 inches depending on what i had for scrap
thanks goes out to closetguy for the idea. i got a 12 pack of candles at wallmart for about 6 dollars
i don’t have a forstner bit this size so i used a hole saw 1 3/4 and sanded as needed for fit
beveled the sides at 10 deg. and cut the legs at 10 deg. funny as i went on line this morning i was Richard had made some a lot like these
looks like a lot of people will be getting candle holders for Christmas.
2 holders are maple and other hard wood scraps i had 1 is a piece of redwood i had with some sap wood that looked cool

Eddy, these are nice looking center pieces. And I am sure they will be well received as gifts. Varying the woods makes each one a unique gift.
Nice job.

Yep, what a good use of scraps. I think around here a lot of people will also get such gift for Christmas. The more I’ll make/give, the more space I’ll gain in the shop!
Great job and well done. Too bad you don’t have Forstner bits because hole saws involve a lot of sanding. Another way to bore the holes would be using a router, a template and guide bushings. No sanding required here. This is the way I’ll make mine.
Thanks for sharing your work/ideas.
Best,
Serge

You have it right allot of people getting these this year. I have 7 in my garage that are being worked on. Yours look awsome. I like the angles. Maybe i will use that 10 degree angle on mine some other time. I just went with simple lines.
