Wooden Candles – How to Make Wooden Candle Holders

Before constructing wooden candles holders in your room, make sure you have the four basic materials needed. The materials are Cordless drill press, a 1 ½ inches or 1 5/8 large drill bit, shaping tools and a log of your preference. Choose the best piece of wood that will perfectly suit the candles you will store. The wood should be made from high-quality hardwood and not from pine.

Check the piece of wood you chose in terms of space. Try scrutinizing on the best storage area for the candles. Provide a special section for the holder where the detailed marks and essential corners of the wood are apparently seen.

Use the shaping tools to create a shape for the wooden candles holders. You can make use of a hatchet to create a classical look in your holders. Every shape should have a flat surface to avoid unnecessary wood rolling. You can also rely on circular shapes for as long as you maintain the roundness of the holder’s upper side corners.

For you to be able to build the holders effectively, take away the bark from the wood first. But if for instances that the bark can’t be removed from the wood of your choice, you can make use of a clamp and carpenter’s glue to paste it back in its fixed place until the bark is dry. It’s up to you if you’re going to take away the scratches from the wood or going to use a wood filler to cover them.

Measure the side of the mark in the holders where you made use of a driller to punch the holes. If your holder is for storage of minimal number of candles, make a mark towards the middle part of the wood and measure the sides.

Drill the holes for the storages of the candles. The space of the hole must complement with the size of the candles you chose. Measure the desired diameter of the candle by using a drill press or cordless drill.

Furnish the wooden candles holders using any inflammable materials such as Tung Oil. The Tung Oil is a wood furnishing product made from 100% pure seed of the Tung tree. The Oil is used to protect the surface corners of the wood-made materials from rust and unnecessary moisture. Using the Tung Oil helps generate the wood holder’s durability.
