Thanks tony. I cut two pieces the same size when I was doing the second one, so I'm hoping to be able to turn a third which will match close enough to be called a pair haha. Then will probably give the first one to the guys wife who gave me the wood as she's already said she really liked it

Just a word of caution, tea light holders made from wood have been known to catch fire (not common but it happens). A good solution to this risk is to use a glass tea light holder as a liner and insulator between the wood and tea light. They can be found cheap in Tesco, Range and pound stores. In addition I personally think this is essential if the items are to be sold to the general public.

Some nice holders on this thread guys!

Lucky escape Treequip! Not what you want to wake up to!!

 

Tea lights are so dodgy, seen a more than one TV with a big melted hole in the top. Knew somebody that nearly burnt down a small block of flats putting a tea light on the telly with no holder. No laughing matter!

 

This also applies to candle sticks and candelabras made from wood, glass or sometimes metal holders are also available for these.

Or just spray is with a fire retardant spray then put your finish on , also use common sense and don't leave it unattended. When selling to the public you don't have to use glass inserts, but you have to provide them with a safety data sheet if selling with candles.

I have also seen the glass inserts crack so really all down to common sense.
