Pyramid Candles

My brother Mike has always been my biggest fan and advocate.  When I was visiting him last week I spotted this pyramid candle he has that I made more than twelve years ago.  The base of the candle is made out of solid cherry with aluminum tubing.  The cherry stock is laminated together to form a block measuring approximately five inches square.  I then drill two inch and a half diameter holes on two sides of the block and insert inch and a half aluminum tubes. I then tilt the band saw table to ten degrees and cut off four sides, cutting through the wood and aluminum, creating a pyramid.  All sides are sanded.  The aluminum holds two tea light candles perfectly.  I finish the candles with an oil finish.
