PREMIUM PROJECT
Candle Holder
The Candle Holder is a short project which everyone should try. It’s a great way to master basic Origin operations and progress onto more advanced Premium Projects. You can use the Candle Holder to house a tealight and traditional tapered candles. A tray in the middle can be used to store matchsticks. You’ll spend approximately one hour making the Candle Holder from a hardwood of your choice.
