INSTRUCTIONS

Adhere patterns for panels A and B to the wood with spray adhesive. Drill blade entry holes, then make all cuts with your scroll saw. Note: these patterns can be cut separately or stack cut. If stack cutting, you'll need to cut the top and bottom slots out separately. Also, if you use wood thicker than 1/4", be sure to make the two slots the same thickness as the wood.

Once all cuts have been made, remove patterns, sand, and wipe down with the tack cloth. Apply finish of choice (I prefer tung oil). Note: this project can also be painted if desired.

To assemble, apply glue to the surface of the slots on panels A and B. Interlock the two panels and allow to dry. Place insert of choice into newly formed holder. For candleholder, first screw the candle cup on the end of the dowel, then round over the opposite end of the dowel to fit the contour of the holder. Cj
