Thank you Derry! I appreciate you comment!

I didn’t line the holes. Those are battery operated candles and they had various adapters to hold them in many sizes of candle holders.

Great project and teaching! Did you line the holes? It looks like rings around the bottom of the tapers.

Gail! I love this project, it turned out so pretty! I love how simple it is, once you saw at the right angle 😉 yet it looks like it was difficult to make! Awesome job!

Thanks so much for loaning me the saws! I really did only use the handsaw. I’m glad I didn’t give up.

Jennie,

I think it would be oh so pretty with different species of wood! But using a handsaw I chose a soft wood. 😉

I didn’t feel comfortable doing this on the miter saw, and I wouldn’t want to recommend others to do so. I was hoping to showcase an easy project for those who don’t have a lot of tools.

Aggression? How did you know, were you hiding in the camper? lol

I wonder how it would look with 3 or 4 different types of wood? A compound miter saw with a clamp would work well. Unless you had some aggression to work out through the flush cut hand saw. 😉
