Step 5Finish Up
If the edges of the holes are ruff, give them a little sanding.
Finishes: Think about finishes- there are many you could do. My favourite is tung oil, Which I used on the chopping board. I left the maple candle holder natural. I treated the longer log made holder with liming wax, which brings out the grain in a big way. You could also stain it. Be careful about using potentially flammable finishes.
Buy some nice candles. I got beeswax tea lights from a an environmental/organic shop called Arbour in Ottawa. They smell great.
Wrap it up, and give someone a piece of firewood instead of a lump of coal...
Now you've bought the expensive bit, make a few more, or have a go at making a chopping board..
Merry Christmas.
