Candles and Candleholders

As an environmental educator I enjoy connecting people with the wonders of our natural world. I have a tremendous amount of interest in the trees that shape our forests- from their ability to sustain our ecosystems to their uniqueness and beauty. These candle holders are crafted using beautiful planks of black walnut, featuring the rich hues of heartwood contrasting with the lighter sapwood, and is from here in the Southern Appalachians. A natural edge on one side serves to remind the user of the forest from which it has come, and accommodates standard tea light candles (included). Bark can be included if requested. Custom candle holders are approximately 1.5 inches thick and can be crafted in a number of desired shapes and sizes based upon personal preference. Cost is based upon size ($0.40 per square inch). For instance, a 10 inch by 5 inch candle holder costs $20.00. An odd number of candles is preferred for a more interesting appearance. The overall number of tea light candles based upon size of the overall piece and the preference of the buyer. i can substitute the included paraffin candles for local beeswax candles for an additional charge. Walnut has long been used as a choice wood for its strength and beauty. These candle holders are treated with a beeswax, mineral oil mixture.

  • Great service

    This Maker has consistently demonstrated excellence in craftsmanship and customer service.

I am a professional environmental educator and naturalist in Western North Carolina who enjoys using locally harvested and reclaimed hardwoods in designing and building functional woodwork.

I have a strong interest in creating works that highlight the biodiversity and character of the Southern Appalachians. If that appeals you you, let me know!

The wood I use in all projects is sustainably harvested and in most cases locally sourced. I do not use any exotic hardwoods, as these are often not harvested sustainably and create a large environmental impact by shipping them to the United States. All wood glue is food-safe when cured and waterproof. Finishes are all non-toxic.

    Jonathon was a pleasure to work with. My only negative is that I didn't communicate as well as I should. The coat rack that he sent is beautiful and well made, just not exactly what I had pictured. I am happy with it though! He did install flush mount wall attachments to the rack, but did not send the wall attachments, which may have just been an oversight, and I will contact him directly about this. I was thrilled to be his first customer on Custom Made, and will definitely contact him again with future projects. The coat rack arrived on time (before Christmas) and was well packaged. Thanks, Jonathon!

    Thank you Jonathan for crafting my beautiful Black Walnut Candle Holder. I know I cut it real close to receive by Christmas, but you came through and did exactly as you said you would. This piece was a gift for my daughter as a table centerpiece and she absolutely loves it.

    Jonathon did a fabulous job with a custom made butcher block that now sits inside our counter. I was able to send him a template and measurements which he absolutely nailed! He used local North Carolina black walnut mixed in with other woods to give it a beautiful contrasting look. His prices are very reasonable. I will certainly use him again as well as recommend him to others.
