Low-Rise Candle Holder

Cut the base, two braces, and four posts to size, then sand every piece.

Join a brace between two posts on each end, positioning the brace about 1in below the top of the posts, so it forms a leg assembly with a notch above it.

Apply glue to the top of each brace, then slide the base board down between the posts to rest on the braces, positioned about 2in in from each end. Clamp and let the glue cure fully.

Finish with a wipe-on oil, then set candles or candle holders along the raised base.
