This was a scrap wood project made from:
Walnut, Osage Orange, Maple, and White Oak lumber.

Down the middle is a piece of walnut. Then moving out from there are two pieces of Osage orange lumber, then Two pieces of Maple, and finally two pieces of White Oak.

I wanted to elevate the candles a bit, as many Tealight holders are very low. But my wife suggested that I find a way to carve away at the base so it wasn't so "heavy" looking.

Overall dimensions are 4 inches tall, 6 inches long, and just under 3 inches thick. The Tealight candles are 1-1/2" in diameter, so I drilled 1-5/8" holes for them, about 1/" deep. The giant hole through the middle is 2-1/2" in diameter, with matching partial holes cut into each end. The curve on top is 1/2" in height (so the sides are 1/2" shorter than the center).
