19. Minimalist Wooden Candle Holder Block
Create a warm, ambient glow with a solid block of timber bored out to hold minimalist taper or pillar candles.
- How to Make It: Take a rustic beam offcut or a clean-cut square block of hardwood. Use a Forstner bit on a drill press to bore clean, flat-bottomed holes sized precisely for your favorite candles. Sand the wood smooth, leaving any natural weathering or grain cracks intact for added character.
- Tips: Always place a metal candle insert inside the wooden bore hole if you plan on burning the candles all the way down to ensure fire safety.
- Variations: Arrange blocks of varying heights into a staggered centerpiece cluster across your dining or coffee table.
