NATURAL BIRCH CANDLE STANDS “I just received the birch candles and I love them! Originally from Michigan, I live in the desert now. This is just a hint of home away from home, adding the accent from nature that I love.” ~ Deborah DuBois, Nevada
 Bring a piece of the north woods into your home with these candle stands made from seasoned birch logs. Sized to safely hold standard tealights, these stands make an elegant accent in contemporary, traditional and rustic settings. Use them to add an earthy natural element to an old farmer's table or as a centerpiece on a formal dinner table. I've sold a bunch of these to folks who use them as centerpieces at wedding receptions and corporate banquets and raffle them off to guests when they're done with them. Available individually or in sets of three.Each candle stand is truly unique and incorporates all the natural character you expect of Birch: imperfections, knots and all. I cut these birch logs by hand and carry them to my workshop to minimize the dirt, scarring and bruising. Click here for instructions for cleaning birch bark.  I've been asked why I make these with tea light inserts instead of wrapping a solid candle in birch bark. There are two reasons. First, it's a matter of safety. When I build a campfire, my first choice for kindling is birch bark because it burns so readily. Seems to me a candle wrapped in birch bark would be a serious fire hazard. Second, by using tea lights these candle stands will last forever. You just replace the inexpensive tea lights and they're good as new.These candle stands measure approximately 3" in diameter and come in 3", 5" and 8" heights (give or take ½"). The bottoms are covered with felt and each candle holder comes with three unscented tea lights. The tea lights are a standard ½" tall, 1½" in diameter and will burn for about 2 hours.
