How to Make a Candle Holder with a Decorative Inlay


Watch me show you how to (and not to) make a Candle Holder. I made this for my wife's PartyLite candles. It is made of some Red Oak I had lying around with some walnut for a (this time intentional) decorative inlay. It is an easy, quick project, and the Danish Oil finish really lets the wood pop with its natural color.
