Well in between my Projects of "What's Di up to", I got a little sidetracked in making these Fir Log Tea Light candle holders. I had seen these years ago on Martha Stewart, and then once again recently when taking a tour of the "Home for the Holidays". I was wanting to make them originally out of birch because of its unique peely bark, but had these logs already at my disposal. All I needed to do was cut them up and drill a hole.......or so I thought. These turned out to more time consuming that expected. 3-4 hour Project. Mind you we made over 20 of them. When I say "We" I mean my Dad & myself. He cut the logs to the desired sizes I needed while I was sorting them. The I used a hole saw & cut them on a Milling Machine (overkill), while he hogged them out with a drill press. We had a great assembly line once we got going.
