The month’s issue of WOOD Magazine has a fun project article on making a votive candle holder. Bright Idea Candleholder details exactly what’s needed and lays out all the steps for this fairly simple but elegant wood-working project. Since the pieces of wood required are so small, you can splurge on exotic materials for this project, like using cherry or mahogany for the legs, or even for the entire holder.

WOOD Magazine has lots of interesting projects for accomplished wood workers, but this votive holder looks like it could be a good starter project for someone wanted to get into making things out of wood.
