With Christmas rolling around soon, I figured that I should get started on making some gifts for family and friends. My "Wood" magazine always has something in it around the Fall season that is relatively small enough for mass production, yet is nice enough for gift giving. This year, it was these candle holder sets. Designed to hold the long, slim, "taper" candles, the design was easy to run out and with the aid of just a few simple jigs, the process was a snap....though I still grow weary of the mass production process.
Per my usual mode of doing things...I made these out of walnut and red oak. I just like the way the two species compliment each other. I simply needed to order enough of the brass ferrules from Rockler Woodworking for the number of holder sets that I planned on making. I believe I made a total of 25 sets with each set containing three holders, each a different height.
