I couldn't buy orange candles so I made them from wood.

Apepper, thank you
My son is always bringing me home leftovers from his cabinetry and woodworking business. A few years back he brought home several spindles from chair backs. How could I refuse?
I only wanted the candles for display, not to burn so I decided to make them.
The spindles were tapered so I cut them to the length and thickness I wanted.
Next I put a nail in each end. One to hold it in foam while I pained it and another to insert the make believe wick which I made from twine with a burned end.
Then I used my glue gun to add drips then painted them.

They turned out pretty good and from a distance you would never know they are wood.
