Shabbat candles
It is a real pleasure to make shabbat candle holders from whisky barrel wood. The smell of the wood whilst working with it is wonderful - my wife says it is the best air freshener we've ever had! It makes me look forward to spending Friday evenings in the company of family and friends and then enjoying a dram (or two) with them at kiddush before shabbat lunch.
For simple two candle holder trays, I will ask for a minimum donation of £ 30 to one of the listed charities. For a more complex shabbat candle holder or custom made holder a minimum donation of £60 will be requested, with the exact amount to be agreed when we discuss your individual requirements.
A custom made shabbat candle holder made for someone who lights five candles each shabbat, two for herself and one for each of her three children. Subject to having a large enough piece of wood, I would be pleased to make further pieces like this for any number of shabbat tea lights.
The colours in this piece are due to the different colours of the original wood - no dyes were added to the wax finish.
