Birch and pine tea light holders

This is my first attempt at making a Birch tea light holder.  I actually used 2 pieces of wood that were in the pile for the fireplace.  The third holder is not Birch, but rather pine.  It is the bottom 4 inches from our Christmas tree.

My son helped me sand the two ends of the holders.  I took the wood to a local wood hobby shop and used a drill press and a 1 1/2" wood bit to carve out the spot for the tea light.

These 3 were given to my wife as her Christmas present.  I hope to make a few more of these and then consign them at our local thrift shop.  I don't expect to make a lot of money with these, just a little extra for spending.  The wood was free and it cost me $10 for 2 hours of work at the wood hobby shop.  Now that I know what I am doing, more or less, I can knock out a few more even faster.

I'll try to get a better picture uploaded.
