The Quad Candle Set is four individual candle holders when grouped together, create a beautiful multi-level glow. Or each can be separated and arranged to your own fancy.

The thought was how or what could I build that would provide some sort of grouping of candles, but each at it’s own height or level.  What I ended up with was square columns with four different heights.

Creates a beautiful affect with easy change, no mess tea light candles.

Each set is built and repurposed from recycled lumber, carefully milled down to size, hand sanded smooth, and finished off with hand-applied traditional Tung Oil finish. Using Tung Oil really brings out the grain and charming colors of the repurposed wood.

For this project, I tossed the existing frame, keeping all the rest. It came with perfect mat board, glass of course, and a very nice back with built in stand so it can be hung on a wall or placed with it’s stand.

Construction. I used a simple lap joint technique, no miters for the corners and routed the rabbit groove recess in the back.
Material is common pine with Weathered Grey stain finished off in satin clear. Lady bug design is Bloodwood body (natural red), maple died black for head and spots. Lady bug finished in high gloss, then epoxied to the frame.
