Candle Holders

Make two elegant candle holders with this easy woodworking plan. Use contrasting accent strips and simple band saw cuts for stunning results.

Create two eye-catching candle holders using simple band saw techniques and contrasting wood accents. This woodworking plan guides you through building both curved and square designs, starting with basic hardwood blocks. By cutting and gluing in thin accent strips — like mahogany against maple — you’ll add a striking visual contrast with minimal effort.

Ideal for beginner and intermediate woodworkers, this project offers a fun and fast weekend build. The curved candle holders bring elegance and flow to any setting, while the square holders offer a clean, modern look. Step-by-step instructions and helpful diagrams ensure smooth progress from blank to finished piece.

Whether you're crafting gifts, decor, or something to sell at craft fairs, these candle holders are a simple way to turn scrap wood into stylish, functional art.
