Six-Candle Centerpiece
You can build this candle centerpiece in just a few hours using pieces of scrap wood and a few simple table saw techniques.
This elegant six-candle centerpiece is a perfect weekend project that combines simplicity with sophistication. Designed to be built in just a few hours, it makes great use of scrap wood and leftover cutoffs—especially prized pieces like figured maple or exotic hardwoods. The clean lines and minimalist design allow the natural beauty of the wood to shine, making it an excellent showcase for your best material and attention to detail.
Despite its refined appearance, the build is straightforward. With a few table saw setups and careful layout, you’ll be able to create precise joinery and achieve a polished finish. While the construction isn’t complex, this is a project where the small things matter—like sanding the end grain to a smooth polish or carefully finishing between coats. Whether displayed as a dining table centerpiece or given as a thoughtful handmade gift, this project brings warmth, craftsmanship, and style to any home.
