Wooden candle holders can be safe if properly designed and treated. Choose hardwoods, which resist heat and cracking better than softwoods. To further ensure safety, drill candle holes snugly to prevent tipping, and avoid thin or delicate designs that could burn easily. Sealing the wood with a fire-retardant finish and avoiding highly flammable oils are good practices. Ensure the candle holder base is wide enough to stay stable. Placing a metal insert in each candle hole can add protection, especially for taller candles, by preventing flames from reaching the wood.
